Virage adds new product line to its SoC infrastructure IP portfolio

Virage has broadened its portfolio of System-on-Chip (SoC) infrastructure IP with the new Integra product line. It is based on the technology that Virage Logic acquired from NXP in November 2009. The Integra portfolio of SoC Infrastructure IP includes Multi-layer and Control networks, embedded Quality of Service (QoS) functionality as well as memory controllers for embedded SRAMs/ROMs. Virage says that this complete solution can provide the central back-bone of any SoC and extends Virage Logic's ability to serve as a single source provider of highly differentiated, production proven IP.

"The Integra SoC Infrastructure IP portfolio was designed to be high performance and cost effective, and therefore is ideally suited for any application in today's world of internet-enabled programmable multi-core devices," said Henk Hamoen, director of marketing for SoC Infrastructure at Virage Logic. "Integra addresses the global drive for energy conservation by applying a power islands methodology; a technology that at the same time improves time-to-market because its implementation is extremely physical design friendly. Production proven innovative data and control interconnect networks as well as memory controllers for embedded SRAMs/ROMs are provided. The QoS Engine also provides unique system Quality of Service features that enable perfect media streaming in complex multi-media SoCs including Digital TV, Set Top Boxes and portable audio/video devices."

Virage Logic's Integra portfolio includes:
1. Integra Multi-layer Network.
2. Integra Control Network.
3. Integra QoS Engine.
4. Integra Memory Controllers for embedded SRAMs/ROMs.

Availability:
The Integra product portfolio is available today for early adopters and will be available for general distribution in September 2010.
