True Circuits Announces NEC Electronics Corporation Has Implemented a Low-jitter PLL in their SPI-4.2 Interface Hard Macro
SAN JOSE, California - October 22, 2003 - Network Processor Conference - True Circuits, Inc. (TCI), a leading provider of analog and mixed-signal intellectual property (IP) for the semiconductor, systems industries and electronics industries, today announced that NEC Electronics Corporation has implemented a TCI clock generator PLL in a new SPI-4.2 interface hard macro fabricated in NEC's 130nm process technology. This NEC hard macro and embedded DRAM solution will be demonstrated on actual silicon at the Network Processor Conference on October 22nd in NEC Electronics' booth #315.
"We selected True Circuits' clock generator PLL for this high-speed communications application because of its small size, wide frequency range and superior low-jitter performance," said Hideya Horikawa, Senior Design Engineering Manager, NEC Electronics America. "The performance of the TCI PLL will enable our ASIC customers to successfully implement multiple SPI-4.2 macros in their high-end telecommunication ASICs and help meet the tight jitter and power budgets required for 10 Gbps SONET/SDH systems."
"Our clock generator PLL hard macros are very flexible, have wide frequency and multiplication ranges, and produce optimal jitter performance over all multiplication settings," noted Dr. John G. Maneatis, President of True Circuits. "These design characteristics were particularly important for this high-speed interface application and we are proud to bring this timing flexibility and performance to NEC Electronics and their many ASIC customers."
