Sibridge Technologies Enhances Ethernet IP Cores with IEEE 1588 PTP

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 4, 2014 — Sibridge Technologies a leading provider of innovative design IPs, verification IPs, VLSI and embedded systems solutions, for the development of SoC platform products, today announced availability of IEEE 1588-2008 Precision Time Protocol (PTP). The addition of IEEE 1588-2008 to Sibridge Technologies’ Design IP portfolio will enable Sibridge to support existing customers and acquire new customers in the networking domain. Customer will leverage IEEE 1588-2008 IP for real-time networking and automation applications that involve very precise timing synchronization.

Sibridge Technologies’ IEEE 1588 IP seamlessly couples with its Triple-speed Ethernet IP and variety of interfaces like MII/GMII/RMII/RGMII/TBI PHY interface data-paths for detecting PTP messages. The design comprises of highly accurate adder-based clock, network packet interface specific PTP-message-event capture logic, AHB/AXI system interface controller and time-stamp mechanism. The IP core also supports time-stamping based on external events, provides user-programmable clock-output/trigger-pulse, and a Pulse per Second (PPS) output.

“Proliferation of Ethernet for variety of applications makes IEEE 1588-2008 as a must have IP protocol for highly time-critical applications. Our IEEE 1588-2008 IP is highly configurable and allows easy customization to target variety of application.” said Rajesh Shah, CEO of Sibridge Technologies.

About Sibridge Design and Verification IP Solutions

Sibridge’s Design IPs (DIPs) are high performance cores with low gate count and low power. The DIPs are based on a robust IP development methodology that enables the DIPs to be highly configurable and easy to integrate in complex SoCs.

Sibridge’s Verification IPs (VIPs) leverages the power of SystemVerilog to provide verification engineers with a highly scalable, expandable and easy to use verification solution. The VIPs are native SystemVerilog based solutions that support UVM, OVM, VMM and Pure SystemVerilog methodology.
