S2C Distributes Snowbush PCIe and SATA IP in China
PHY cores are silicon proven at up to 12.5 Gbps and on 40nm processes
Shanghai, China - July 12, 2011 - S2C Inc., a leading rapid SoC/ASIC prototyping solutions provider, announced today its plans to distribute the Gennum Corporation Snowbush IP in China. The Gennum Snowbush IP Group, a leader in high-speed serial interface IP (intellectual property), offers one of the industry's most robust, widely-deployed and production-tested family of IP cores for today's most demanding high-speed serial communication protocols and applications. S2C has been distributing IP in China since 2007 with sales offices and applications engineering support located in Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen China.
Snowbush IP offers one of the industry's broadest silicon-proven PHY IP portfolios covering key standards, including PCI Express®, SATA/SAS, SuperSpeed USB 3.0, XAUI, Gigabit Ethernet and 10G Ethernet. Snowbush IP solutions for PCI Express consists of PHYs, configurable digital controllers, and high performance AMBA 3 AXI or AMBA 2 AHB bridges - all integrated together to provide end-to-end solutions. Additionally, Snowbush IP supports SATA delivering PHYs integrated with configurable SATA controllers available as: AHCI-compliant SATA 3, 2, 1 Host Controller that connects to either PCI Express Controller or AMBA AXI or AMBA AHB Bridges.
"We are excited to work with Snowbush IP who has a proven track record in delivering high quality, high-speed serial communication protocols such as PCI Express, SATA/SAS, SuperSpeed USB 3.0, XAUI, Gigabit Ethernet and 10G Ethernet. We foresee a large demand for these IPs in advanced process nodes as the complexity of designs in China continues to increase dramatically," said Toshio Nakama, CEO of S2C. "S2C also plans to develop Snowbush IP reference designs on S2C TAI Logic Modules so our customers can have working designs on FPGA prototypes early in the design cycle. Rapid SoC/ASIC prototyping using FPGA is becoming a mainstream hardware verification and concurrent software development methodology."
"Our high-speed interface IP products are an excellent fit with S2C's SoC IP portfolio. With their strong sales and application teams, we believe that Snowbush IP can help accelerate customers' time to market with highly differentiated products," said Alan Tsun, General Manager of the Gennum Snowbush IP Group.
