Frontier Silicon Selects Mixed-Signal IP from S3 for Advanced Digital Radio SoC
San Jose -- April 20th, 2009 – Silicon & Software Systems Ltd. (S3), a world leading provider of mixed-signal semiconductor IP solutions, today announced that Frontier Silicon has licensed its mixed-signal IP for their Chorus 3 SoC. S3 delivered a high performance PLL from its portfolio as part of the deal. Frontier Silicon is a leading supplier of innovative semiconductor, module and software solutions for digital radio and connected audio systems and this advanced digital radio and audio baseband network processor SoC is now widely available to the market.
"S3 achieved first-time-right silicon and helped us to rapidly enter the market with our Chorus 3 SoC. The low jitter performance of this PLL means that we can offer a superior product that will help drive the successful migration to DAB digital radio across Europe and Australia. The key advantages of working with S3 are first-time-right silicon, best-in-class performance, on-time delivery and excellent integration support. Our partnership with S3 has enabled us to develop the most optimum SoC solution for DAB," said Bob Heads, VP Engineering, at Frontier Silicon.
Commenting on S3's success at Frontier Silicon, Mike Murray, General Manager for Mixed Signal IP at S3, said "Frontier Silicon is developing innovative solutions on advanced process nodes and we are very pleased to have enabled them to get to market quickly with their DAB product, through the rapid and successful deployment of our leading edge mixed-signal IP. We look forward to extending our working relationship further for their next SoC developments."
