Synopsys DesignWare IP Core for PCI Express Powers Realtek Single-Chip Gigabit Ethernet Solution
DesignWare IP Speeds Development of Ethernet Controller with PCI Express Interface
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 14, 2004 - Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq:SNPS), the world leader in semiconductor design software, today announced that Realtek Semiconductor, a leading network and multimedia IC supplier, used Synopsys’ DesignWare® intellectual property (IP) core for PCI Express™ to develop Realtek’s RTL8168L Gigabit Ethernet Controller. The collaboration between the two companies has enabled Realtek to be one of the first to offer a single-chip Gigabit Ethernet solution with a PCI Express interface.
With its higher performance and low pin-count interface, PCI Express is replacing PCI and PCI-X®in today’s system-on-chip (SoC) designs. For Realtek’s PCI Express-based Gigabit Ethernet Controller, Realtek’s engineers were able to utilize the Transaction Layer, Data Link and MAC Layers of Synopsys’ DesignWare Endpoint Controller for PCI Express to streamline their design process and quickly achieve tapeout success.
“Realtek is the world’s leading Ethernet and Fast Ethernet provider. In light of Synopsys’ leadership in PCI IP, we cooperated with them to accelerate development of our PCI Express Ethernet solutions,” said Niccolo Chen, vice president of Research and Development at Realtek. “When we were looking for a partner to provide the PCI Express IP for our RTL8168L Gigabit Ethernet Controller, Synopsys was the obvious choice due to their dependability and commitment to quality and support.”
“PCI Express is an emerging technology that is much more complicated than PCI,” said Guri Stark, vice president of marketing, Synopsys Solutions Group. “Designers are finding that it is important to work with a dependable IP vendor that is committed to quality and the success of their products. With our commitment to compliance and third-party interoperability testing, we are taking an active role in the PCI Express IP market enabling Realtek to leverage this work to the benefit of their customers.”
