Digital Blocks Announces the DB-I2C Controller IP Core with the availability of Master-Slave, Master, and Slave Versions for the AMBA 2.0 APB Interconnect

Specifically targeted for Embedded Processor designs with AMBA 2.0 APB Bus requirements, the DB-I2C offers a variety of performance levels versus VLSI footprint tradeoff options.

GLEN ROCK, New Jersey, December 20, 2007 – Digital Blocks, a leading developer of silicon-proven semiconductor Intellectually Property (IP) soft cores for embedded processor and video system designers, today announces the DB-I2C Controller IP Core. The DB-I2C IP Core targets systems-on-chip (SoC) ASSP, ASIC, and FPGA designs containing ARM embedded processors and the AMBA 2.0 APB on-chip bus, as well as other processors that support the APB bus.

The DB-I2C IP Core is offered in three versions:

Model Number Description
DB-I2C-MS-APB Provides both Master and Slave function with optional parameterized FIFO for high performance designs.
DB-I2C-M-APB Master only function with optional FIFO for smaller VLSI footprint.
DB-I2C-S-APB Slave only function with optional FIFO or register bank with auto-increment addressing mode.

Price and Availability

The DB9000AHB is available immediately in synthesizable Verilog or VHDL, along with synthesis scripts, a simulation test bench with expected results, datasheet, and user manual. For further information, product evaluation, or pricing, please visit Digital Blocks at http://www.digitalblocks.com
