Virtual Silicon Offers Memory IP For TSMC.Business Editors and High Tech Writers SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 19, 2002 Virtual Silicon Technology, Inc., a leader in semiconductor intellectual property, today announced availability of its multi-port register files (MPRFs) on TSMC TSMC Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd TSMC Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation TSMC Traffic Systems Management Center TSMC Toll Station Management Controller TSMC Transportation Supply Maintenance Command TSMC Technical Services Manager Code 0.25 micron (CL025G) and 0.18 micron (CL018G) process technologies. The 1P, 2P, 3P and 4P MPRFs are offered in synchronous Refers to events that are synchronized, or coordinated, in time. For example, the interval between transmitting A and B is the same as between B and C, and completing the current operation before the next one is started are considered synchronous operations. Contrast with asynchronous. , asynchronous Refers to events that are not synchronized, or coordinated, in time. The following are considered asynchronous operations. The interval between transmitting A and B is not the same as between B and C. The ability to initiate a transmission at either end. and mixed-mode architectures. "The MPRFs are the most optimized buffer memories for use in high speed networking and multi-processor applications," said Mike Shamshirian, memory product marketing director at Virtual Silicon. "The 3P and 4P register files with fast access time of 2.5ns are ideal memories for multi-processor SoC applications where simultaneous access by multiple processing elements are required". The MPRFs are available in synchronous read/synchronous write, asynchronous read/asynchronous write and asynchronous read/synchronous write architectures. Other major features of these memories are bit write, three mux options and output enable. The MPRFs are now available on TSMC's CL025G and CL018G process technologies. Designers can use the web instance generators on Virtual Silicon web site to evaluate different configurations for optimal solution. Virtual Silicon will then provide the GDS GDS Global Distribution System GDS Google Desktop Search (Google) GDS Goodie Domain Service (Vienna University of Technology, Austria) GDS Guards files for the desired configurations to the latest design rules. Each GDS files is tested and verified to Virtual Silicon outgoing quality assurance standard. Availability and Pricing The MPRF MPRF Medium Pulse Repetition Frequency MPRF Motion Picture Relief Fund MPRF Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Forces MPRF Major Product Release Features (Lucent) MPRF Montcalm Potato Research Farm generators are available on Virtual Silicon web site.
