Flexibility, Increased Performance, Low Power and Fast Turnaround Are Key
Advantages of Devices with
True Circuits PLL and DLL Hard Macros
LOS ALTOS, California - True Circuits, Inc. (TCI), a leading
provider of analog and mixed-signal intellectual property (IP) for the
semiconductor, systems and electronics industries, announced today
that Leopard Logic of Cupertino, California has successfully
implemented multiple True Circuits PLL and DLL hard macros in its new
GladiatorTM CLDTM family of configurable logic devices,
which feature a unique combination of mask-programmable and
field-programmable technology, and are fabricated in TSMC's 0.13um
process.
"We needed the most flexible IP implementation possible for
our Gladiator CLD devices and True Circuits provided us with PLL and
DLL hard macros that met this requirement," said Stefan Tamme,
Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Leopard Logic. "We
selected True Circuits because of their deep expertise and proven
ability in high-performance timing circuits. Using their programmable
IP, our team was able to implement multiple PLL and DLL blocks under
an aggressive schedule to provide our customers with complete timing
flexibility for even the most demanding system applications."
"With its Gladiator CLD approach, Leopard Logic combines the
flexibility of FPGAs with the efficiency of ASICs for high speed, high
density, low per-gate cost and low power applications," remarked
John G. Maneatis, President of True Circuits. "We are pleased to
be a contributor to this unique design and family of programmable
devices, and to help our customers achieve success with our
low-jitter, programmable PLLs and DLLs in their high-performance
design applications."
