Silicon Image (Nasdaq: SIMG) today announced the availability of High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMITM) and Serial ATA (SATA) core IP that can be integrated into the latest System-on-Chip (SoC). Silicon Image has ported its SATALinkTM SATA core to a variety of 90nm and 0.13um chip manufacturing processes and is now porting its PanelLink® HDMI core to the 0.13um manufacturing process, enabling licensed customers to be in their market-leading system-on-chip Integrates state-of-the-art SATA and HDMI capabilities.
Obtaining a license for a core IP from Silicon Image has many benefits. Silicon Image's core IP verification through silicon production helps customers reduce design cycles, reduce risk and speed up compatibility testing, speeding time-to-market. IP-licensed customers can reduce cost by increasing chip integration while reducing the amount of engineering resources required and reducing the number of fab processes. Silicon Image's expertise in the development, production and testing of SATA and HDMI mixed-signal products provides confidence for IP customers to develop the integrated semiconductor solutions they need in a timely manner.
Silicon Image has developed the world's first DVI and HDMI chips and is a leading supplier of HDMI semiconductor devices. The company has successfully shipped more than 80 million PanelLink HDMI and DVI ICs. Silicon Image is also a key creator of HDMI-compliant test specifications and is the operator of one of two HDMI licensed test centers worldwide. Silicon Image's PanelLink HDMI Transmitter and Receiver IP cores are HDMI 1.1 compliant and are ideal for DVD players and recorders, set-top boxes, A/V receivers, digital TVs (plasma, LCD, DLP) and projectors.
Silicon Image is also a leading supplier of discrete SATA host controllers and has shipped more than 6 million units to date. Silicon Image's chip-proven SATA host and device-side core IP can be integrated into customers' on-chip systems for applications such as DVD recorders, set-top boxes, optical drives, televisions, storage servers, and advanced RAID storage systems. The Silicon Image SATA IP core supports 1.5 and 3.0 Gb/s data transfer speeds and advanced SATA features such as hot swap, native command queuing, frame information structure (FIS) switching based multiplexers and extensions Cable length and complex RAID capabilities.
The core IP of the SATA host includes Transport, Link and PHY layers and PCI, PCI-X or AMBA system-on-chip internal interface options. The device-side SATA core IP combines the Transport, Link, and PHY layers with the parallel ATA or AMBA system-on-chip internal interface options. The SATA host and device core IP can be licensed as a complete module or as a standalone PHY and Link/Transport layer module. Silicon Image also offers licenses for PCI Express and Fibre Channel core IP and high-speed SerDes (serializer/deserializer) PHY technology.
Vendors that have acquired Silicon Image's core IP licenses include ATI, MediaTek, Novatek, Samsung, Sunplus, Trident, and Weltrend, as well as many other major system-on-chip manufacturers around the world. Silicon Image's HDMI, SATA and DVI cores have been designed and tested for TSMC, UMC and other chip foundries that use a variety of 0.18um, 0.13um and 90nm manufacturing processes. As needed, Silicon Image can port its core IP to other chip foundries and process technologies to meet the production requirements of authorized customers.
