OKI Electric Industry Selects Eureka Technology 4-Lane PCI Express IP Core.LOS ALTOS, Calif. -- Eureka Technology Inc., a leading intellectual property (IP) core provider, today announced OKI Electric Industry Co. Ltd., of Tokyo, Japan has selected and successfully implemented the 4-Lane PCI Express IP core from Eureka Technology for its product development. The PCI Express IP core is implemented both in ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. as well as in Field Programmable Gate Array See FPGA. (FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) A type of gate array that is programmed in the field rather than in a semiconductor fab. Containing up to hundreds of thousands of gates, there are a variety of FPGA architectures on the market. ) devices. "It is exciting to stay in the cutting edge of technologies by developing products with the highest performance peripheral connectivity," said Yasuhiko Shimizu, Project Manager of OKI Electric Industry Co. Ltd. "The use of 4-lane PCI Express controller IP core from Eureka Technology helps us develop products quickly and greatly reduces our development cost. We have licensed several IP cores from Eureka Technology in the past and we are very pleased with the qualities and the results." "The licensing demonstrates the many benefits of using high quality IP cores, such as reduction in design time, risk, and cost," said Simon Lau, president of Eureka Technology. "Our customers benefit from having a real turnkey solution and smooth migration to PCI Express by using our silicon proven IP cores." Eureka successfully demonstrated its PCI Express IP core at the PCI-SIG Compliance Workshops and passed all PCI Express compliance testing. The results are certified by PCI-SIG and incorporated into the PCI-SIG integrators list. A hardware development board for PCI Express is also available from Eureka Technology. The Eureka PCI Express Controller Core includes the Transaction Layer, Data Link Layer and Physical Layer of the PCI Express Specification. It conforms to the latest PCI Express revision and supports industrial standard PIPE interface for on-chip PHY See physical layer and physical. core and external PHY chips. With technology independent design methodologies, Eureka's PCI Express Controller Core can be implemented virtually in all ASIC and FPGA technologies available today. While supporting the latest PCI-Express standard, the core shares the same user interface as existing PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). and PCI-X (PCI eXtended) An enhanced PCI bus technology originally developed by IBM, HP and Compaq that is backward compatible with existing PCI cards. PCI and 32-bit PCI-X slots are physically the same, and PCI cards can plug into PCI-X slots. controller core, ensuring an easy migration for customers to PCI Express standard. The common user interface also allows the PCI Express Controller Core to be integrated easily with Eureka's other proven IP cores such as system controller and MemConnect memory controller.

The company specializes in the integration and customization of standard IP core to meet customer requirements. Eureka offers a wide range of silicon proven system core logic and peripheral function cores for different CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. and bus standards including AMBA AMBA Area Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (Spanish) AMBA Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture AMBA American Mold Builders Association AMBA American Mustang and Burro Association AMBA Association of Master of Business Administration AHB(TM), PCI(TM), PCI-X(TM), PCI Express(TM), Cardbus(TM), SDR/DDR SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. , NAND Flash, SD, SDIO See SDIO card. (TM), CompactFlash(TM) and PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, San Jose, CA, www.pcmcia.org) An international standards body and trade association that was founded in 1989 to establish a standard for connecting peripherals to portable computers. PCMCIA created the PC Card. See PC Card. (TM). These IP cores are designed to improve the design time-to-market, eliminate design risks, and reduce development costs for System-on-chip (SoC) designs. Located in Silicon Valley, California, Eureka Technology has pioneered the use of IP cores as a standard methodology in IC design and has licensed hundreds of IP cores to many leading companies in the semiconductor and electronic industries. With customer base in the US, Europe, Japan and other parts of Asia, the company has built many long term business relationships with its customers after their initial successes.
