Quicklogic adds to PCI embedded standard product family.QuickLogic Corporation (Nasdaq:QUIK), the pioneer of Embedded Standard Products (ESPs), has announced additions to its PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). 2.3-compliant, low power, high-performance, QuickPCI family with four new devices optimized for portable applications. Users can expect 132 MBps PCI bus PCI bus - Peripheral Component Interconnect performance with zero wait states while easily meeting the stringent power requirements of portable PCI applications such as mini PCI modules or CardBus cards. The QL58x0 devices support PCI Target functions for 32-bit PCI designs. The 33 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. , 32-bit QL58x0 family combines the guaranteed performance of a PCI 2.3-compliant controller with the flexibility provided by QuickLogic's 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. fabric. These silicon-proven devices let designers focus on developing and integrating their IP within the programmable FPGA fabric and not on the complex development task of designing the PCI interface. The programmable-logic portion of the QL58x0 devices contains up to 1478 QuickLogic logic cells and up to 22 dual-port RAM blocks that may be configured in many width/depth combinations. The RAM blocks can also be combined with logic cells to form FIFOs and initialized via serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM) A rewritable memory chip that holds its content without power. Although EEPROMs spawned flash memory, EEPROMs are byte addressable at the write level, whereas flash chips must erase a block of bytes before rewriting. on power-up and used as ROMs. The QuickPCI ESPs are packaged as a complete solution that includes a comprehensive test suite, reference design kit (RDK RDK Reference Design Kit RDK Red Dragon Karate (compilation of different major styles, mostly based on Shotokan) RDK Reload Delay Kit RDK Report Developer Kit RDK Rapid Deployment Kit RDK Re-Distribution Kit RDK Render Developer Kit ), and QuickLogic's comprehensive level of customer support. The QL58x0 devices are sampling now, with production scheduled during Q3, 2004. Pricing for devices starts at $5 in high-volume quantities. The QL5840 and QL5830 are available in 484-PBGA, 280-LFPGA, and 208-PQFP packages. The QL5820 is available in 208-PQFP, 196-TFBGA and 144-TQFP packages. The QL5810 is available in 196-TFBGA and 144-TQFP packages. |
