Northwest Logic’s PCI Express™ 5.0 Solution Available Now

Northwest Logic’s PCI Express 5.0 solution is available now including PCI Express 5.0 Core that is:

  • PCI Express™ 5.0 specification compliant (32 Gbit/s lane rate support)
  • x16, x8, x4, x2, x1 lane with bifurcation support
  • Endpoint, Root Port, Switch support
  • more

This solution also includes Northwest Logic’s family of Expresso DMA Cores and DMA Drivers which provide the maximum system throughput on a PCI Express link.

This PCI Express 5.0 solution provides a robust, high-performance platform for developing PCI Express™ 5.0 based products.  It is currently available for use in ASIC platforms. Contact Northwest Logic for more information on how to start your PCIe™ 5.0 design now!

Northwest Logic’s GDDR6 Controller Core Available Now

Northwest Logic has delivered production versions of its GDDR6 Controller Core. The GDDR6 Controller Core supports single x32 or dual x16 controller configurations as well as GDDR6 clamshell mode.  It includes queue-based look-ahead command processing and an optional command reordering function for maximum bus utilization. It also includes support for automatic retry when interface data errors are detected, and can be configured with in-band ECC checking as an add-on option. The GDDR6 controller solution can be delivered fully integrated and verified with the Rambus GDDR6 PHY. GDDR6 supports 60 GB/s transfer rates with a single device while utilizing proven BGA packaging and provides a significant performance advantage over DDR4. This enables highly differentiated solutions for high-performance networking, autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, and 5G infrastructure applications.

Northwest Logic Delivering HBM2 Controller Core With HBM2E Support

Northwest Logic is delivering its HBM2 Controller solution with full support of the latest JEDEC standard (JESD235B).  This standard, informally referred to as HBM2E, extends the supported HBM2 stack heights up to 12 high and channel densities up to 24 Gbit.  At the same time, the HBM2 device providers are extending the supported data rates up to 3.2 Gb/s/pin for a total bandwidth of 400 Gbytes/s. “We are very pleased to provide comprehensive HBM2E support. This support further fortifies our industry leading HBM2 Controller solution” said Brian Daellenbach, President of Northwest Logic. Please contact Northwest Logic for more information.

Northwest Logic’s Low Latency HBM Support Released

Northwest Logic has collaborated with Renesas and eSilicon to deliver a comprehensive Low Latency HBM solution.  Renesas’ Low Latency HBM devices support random memory accesses with high throughput and small data granularity making them attractive for a wide range of next generation applications. “We are excited to offer Low Latency HBM device support as part of our overall HBM2 solution,” said Brian Daellenbach, President at Northwest Logic.  Northwest Logic and eSilicon provide a complete HBM2 controller and PHY solution with Low Latency HBM support.  “eSilicon has verified our Low Latency HBM PHY and Northwest Logic’s controller in a 7nm process,” said Hugh Durdan, vice president, strategy and products at eSilicon. For more information please click on: Renesas Low Latency HBM, eSilicon PHY, or Northwest Logic Memory Controller.

Northwest Logic Includes Avery Memory Models In Its Deliveries

Northwest Logic’s memory controller deliveries now include an evaluation version of Avery Design Systems memory models.  Avery’s full featured memory models include HBM2E, HBM2, GDDR6, DDR4 and LPDDR4 support; configurable device speeds and density, built-in protocol analyzer for debugging and performance analysis; and broad memory vendor device support.  Avery’s memory models also support advanced device speeds much earlier than the memory device vendors, enabling designs to be future proofed.  Please contact Northwest Logic or Avery Design Systems for more information.

Northwest Logic’s DSI Controller IP Used in Inova Semiconductors Multichannel Automotive SerDes Devices

Inova Semiconductors GmbH has just announced its latest Multichannel Automotive SerDes devices, the INAP565TAQ and INAP562RAQ. These new APIX3 devices utilize Northwest Logic’s MIPI® DSISM Host, DSISM Peripheral Controller cores to provide high speed video, data, audio and Ethernet connections over a 12 Gbps link up to 10m distance. The devices are being used by several well-known car brands and can connect Navigation displays, Cluster displays, Head up displays or Rear Seat entertainment. “We are very pleased with the quality, ease of integration and support provided by Northwest Logic. The DSI Peripheral is seamlessly integrated into the INAP565TAQ and the DSI Host is integrated in the INAP562R”, said Roland Neumann, Executive VP Engineering at Inova Semiconductor.
