	Cypress SONOS – A Scalable Embedded Flash Technology   Krishnaswamy Ramkumar Cypress Semiconductor The demand for embedded Flash memory in system-on-chip (SOC) designs has grown steeply in recent years as newer applications evolve in communications and consumer electronics. The memory content of complex SOC has increased due to increased demand on system performance. Flash memory is highly desirable in most applications to store critical data and code. However, SOC designers require a Flash memory that is easily integrated with the rest of the circuitry at a low cost. This requirement is challenging and was a barrier for the growth of SOCs with Flash memory. more >> V1 ColdFire $10K - Famous IP Available Online - Visit the IPextreme Core Store™ more >>		First-pass Success … PCIe and SATA PHYs + Controllers, High-speed SerDes more >> HD/DCI JPEG 2000 Encoder from BARCO Single-Port AHB NandFlashController from BARCO The Cypress embedded Flash memory enables nvm in SOC.... from Cypress Semiconductor SAS Universal Verification Component (UVC) with Compliance... from Cadence SATA Universal Verification Component (UVC) with Compliance... from Cadence XPM / OTP - 1K-bit to 128K-bits NVM IP / OTP on TSMC 130 nm G / 3.3V from Kilopass Technology XPM / OTP - 1K-bit to 128K-bits NVM IP / OTP in TSMC 65 nm LP / 2.5V from Kilopass Technology Verification IP for Ethernet from Denali Software SATA, SD/MMC, ATA-7, USB 2.0, FEC, etc. - Silicon proven IP Cores Verification IP for USB2.0 from Denali Software RAM 65 nm - Low power Consumption & High Density from Dolphin Integration RAM 90 nm - Low power Consumption & High Density from Dolphin Integration ESD protection cells for Gigabit Ethernet applications - 40nm TSMC from Sarnoff Europe ESD protection cells for PCI Express applications - 40nm TSMC from Sarnoff Europe 10-bit 1-MSPS 8-channel input low power ADC from Cosmic Circuits 12-bit 205MSPS A/D converter working off 1.2V supply and... from Cosmic Circuits The EASE is a special set of hardware and software solutions... from Evatronix The EASE-8051 is a combination of hardware and software elements... from Evatronix		Most Viewed IP Vendors Q3 2008   Chipidea/MIPS and Synopsys remain the top two IP vendors by number of IP components visited at ChipEstimate.com during Q3 2008.
