Company SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden -- Phylinks, Ltd., an innovator of IP cores for the design of physical layer (PHY See physical layer and physical. ) high-speed serial interfaces The High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) is a differential ECL serial interface standard developed by Cisco Systems and T3plus Networking primarily for use in WAN router connections. It is capable of speeds up to 52 Mbit/s with cables up to 50 feet in length. , announced today that it has appointed Nabil Takla, the CEO and founder of Innovative Semiconductor, as chairman of the Phylinks board of directors. Takla's business acumen and marketing expertise will provide a valuable addition to the Phylinks team, which thus far has focused on building a broad portfolio of IP products for SoCs used in a variety of communications and computing applications. In particular, Nabil Takla's experience in mixed-signal IP cores will be a valuable addition to marketing Phylinks' design-for-test architecture, which is built from the ground up to address the complex issues of testing high speed mixed-signal designs. While Takla is retaining his position as CEO of Innovative Semiconductors, he will play a hands-on role in bringing to market Phylinks' products. "Phylinks is primed for success under the direction of Nabil Takla, who brings over 30 years of experience in business, management, marketing, and technology to the Phylinks board of directors," said Antony Sou, chief operating officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president. and founder of Phylinks. "Phylinks has developed a robust design-for-test architecture, and Nabil will be an ideal resource on the business side as we bring our cores to market and grow the company." "The high-speed performance of SATA (Serial ATA) A serial version of the ATA (IDE) interface, which has been the de facto standard hard disk interface for desktop PCs for more than two decades. The original Parallel ATA (PATA) interface was launched in 1986. and 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. creates new design challenges, and Phylinks is meeting those challenges with rigorous testing and compatibility," said Philip Hodgett, chief technology officer and founder of Phylinks. "With the added leadership, we can sharpen our focus even further on developing new breakthroughs in IP technology, backed by unmatched reliability and customer service." "Phylinks is the right company at the right time to deliver this technology to today's market, and their strong engineering team and architecture convinced me to become involved in their future in any way that I can," said Nabil Takla, CEO and chairman of the board of Phylinks. "Phylinks' design-for-test architecture brings predictability to the SoC design process by delivering IP cores that are painstakingly tested and precisely built to the latest industry standard specifications." About Phylinks IP Cores Phylinks IP cores are optimized for minimum area, low power, extensive testing, and interoperability with a variety of third-party solutions. This makes them ideal for use in the development of high-performance communications, PC, mass storage, optical and server applications. Phylinks IP cores are designed with a particular emphasis on test and manufacturing. An extensive suite of test features makes it easy for designers to test, characterize and manufacture reliable products. Phylinks' innovative architecture effectively tackles the complex issues of testing high-speed mixed-signal designs. About Nabil Takla Nabil Takla is the founder and CEO of Innovative Semiconductors, Inc., a mixed-signal IP company, and has worked with some of the world's leading semiconductor manufacturers to build millions of chips used in high-speed serial interface applications, particularly in the areas of USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. , FireWire and digital video encode/decode. About Phylinks Phylinks, Inc. provides a portfolio of IP Cores for the design of physical layer (PHY) high speed serial interfaces. Phylinks cores can be implemented in a variety of chip designs for use in advanced PCs, PC peripherals, servers, and 3G communications devices Typically refers to a terminal used to send voice, video or text. Mobile phones, wireless PDAs and personal computers equipped with microphones, speakers and cameras are all considered communications devices. See modem. . Phylinks was founded in December 2005 by Antony Sou and Philip Hodgett - two experienced mixed-signal designers with over 40 years of combined experience. In 2006, Nabil Takla, a mixed-signal IP expert who is also the CEO of Innovative Semiconductors, Inc., invested in Phylinks and joined the management team as CEO.
