Artisan To Demonstrate Its PCI Express PHY At Network Processors Conference; 24x7 Downloadable Analog and Digital IP in Advanced Process Technologies Also Presented.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Network Processors Conference West 2003 SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 20, 2003 Artisan Components, Inc., (Nasdaq:ARTI), a leading provider of physical intellectual property (IP), today announced it will showcase its high-bandwidth system interface physical layer (PHY See physical layer and physical. ) technology including PCI Express A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002. Note that although sometimes abbreviated "PCX," PCI Express is not the same as "PCI-X" (see PCI-SIG and PCI-X for comparison). As a result of the confusion, "PCI-E" or "PCIe" is the accepted abbreviation. , SerDes, Serial ATA See SATA. Serial ATA - Serial Advanced Technology Attachment and DDR/DDR2/GDDR3 PHY IP at the Network Processors Conference (NPC 1. (complexity) NPC - NP-complete. 2. (architecture) NPC - Next Program Counter. ), October 21 and 22, 2003 in San Jose, California San Jose (IPA: /ˌsænhoʊˈzeɪ/) is the third-largest city in California, and the tenth-largest in the United States. It is the county seat of Santa Clara County. . As part of NPC's PCI Express Community, Artisan will demonstrate its PCI Express PHY, developed in TSMC's 130-nanometer process, that will be running in an end-to-end evaluation test set up in Artisan's booth 202. Also featured will be Artisan's portfolio of 24x7 downloadable IP, consisting of analog timing functions, general-purpose and specialty I/Os, memory generators and standard cell libraries. About Artisan's System Interface PHYs Artisan's PCI Express PHY core provides high performance, flexibility, low power consumption and extensive testability within a small physical size. The PCI Express is a modular design In the context of systems engineering, modular design — or "modularity in design" — is an approach aiming to subdivide a system into smaller parts (modules) that can be independently created and then used in different systems to drive multiple functionalities. that allows for one to 32-lane configurations to enable a broad range of computing and communication applications, emphasizing performance, cost and scalability.
