Opulan Selects ARM High-Speed Physical Interface Solution For Next Generation Network SoC Designs
July 12, 2007 -- ARM and Opulan Technologies, a leading fabless semiconductor design company in China, today announced that Opulan has licensed the ARM® Velocity™ high-speed DDR solution. As part of the ARM product family of Physical IP, the Velocity DDR is a high-speed physical interface solution for a broad range of SDRAM DDR applications ranging from mission-critical to low-power memory subsystems. Available immediately, Opulan’s ARM technology-based products are designed for Next Generation Network (NGN) applications. Given the tremendous demand for consumer-grade data services, applications such as xDSL, 3G wireless, NGN and FTTx now require IP convergence solutions with higher performance, lower power consumption and improved cost efficiency. Supporting mainstream memory interfaces like DDR 1/2/3 SDRAM devices, the ARM Velocity DDR is a robust interface solution that is scalable for high data bandwidth and reliable signaling integrity. The silicon-validated ARM Velocity DDR products are ideal for supporting a wide range of IP convergence applications, from high-speed communications to low-power handheld devices. “As a global leader in supplying solution-oriented products to the fast-growing broadband multi-service access market, Opulan has achieved several significant design wins with leading telecom OEMs such as Huawei for its NGN products,” said Cong Ye, vice president of VLSI engineering, Opulan Technologies. “By leveraging the availability of ARM Physical IP in leading foundry processes across multiple geometries and process nodes, as well as its superior low-power and high-performance features, we can now combine Opulan’s design expertise with the manufacturing flexibility, reduced time-to-market and high quality enabled by the ARM Velocity DDR solution to address telecom market requirements with innovative products.” “ARM offers not only the industry’s leading processor technologies but also comprehensive solutions to power our Partners’ advanced SoC designs for the digital world, such as promising IP convergence applications,” said Dr. Jun Tan, president, ARM China. “ARM Velocity DDR will enable Opulan to scale the next-generation communication products to meet the ever-increasing bandwidth in today’s information-rich world. ARM will continue to provide its leading Physical IP solutions to Chinese Partners to help them achieve improved design quality and faster time-to-market.” About Opulan
