The PCI Express cores include standard-compliant, full-featured PCI Express 3.0/2.1/1.1 Cores and high-performance, scatter-gather DMA Cores and Drivers (Linux & Windows). The DDR3 SDRAM Controller Core provides high-bandwidth support with a full set of optional add-on cores which include ARM AMBA AXI, multi-port, reordering, ECC and memory test support.

“We are excited to collaborate with Toshiba to provide complete PCI Express and DDR3 SDRAM controller + PHY IP subsystems for the Toshiba FFSA and ASIC platforms. These pre-verified IP subsystems enable chip designers to quickly create high-performance, high-complexity SOC designs,” said Brian Daellenbach, CEO of Northwest Logic.

“By combining the IP and expertise of our two companies we are in a strong position to offer robust, value added IP subsystem solutions and expert support to our customers enabling products to be brought to market quickly,” said Yukihiro Urakawa, Technical Executive of Toshiba.

Toshiba leverages comprehensive expertise from design to manufacture to offer a wide range of custom LSI solutions. FFSA is an innovative, flexible custom LSI solution with pre-designed masters featuring configurable I/Os, SerDes, SRAMs and logic devices that can be configured according to customer requirements.
