K-Micro Licenses Virtual Silicon 90nm Mobilize PLL Digital Frequency Synthesizer
K-Micro's ASICs are incorporated into a variety of applications including computer products, consumer electronics, networking, storage and wireless devices. Flexibility and portability across this wide variety of applications becomes a greater and greater challenge as the demand for increased functionality grows. To accommodate the different needs of many products, critical ASIC components must deliver flexible design, increased functionality and low power in the same or smaller area. With its highly programmable interface, Mobilize low-power design and standard CMOS architecture, Virtual Silicon's DFS PLL helps ensure that K-Micro's 90nm platforms deliver adaptable and customizable ASIC solutions to their impressive breadth of market.
"We use PLLs to cover a wide range of applications," said Sunil Baliga, vice president of marketing and business development at K-Micro. "K-Micro pursues partnerships with leading IP vendors to ensure that our customers have access to the most advanced and affordable technology and that we can provide the flexible designs the market requires."
"The Virtual Silicon DFS was a natural choice for K-Micro," said Barry Hoberman, CEO of Virtual Silicon. "The DFS easily meets their need for a high level of reconfigurability and flexibility and ensures a less-complex bill of materials across their wide range of designs." Hoberman adds, "This partnership also enables K-Micro to offer their customers the key benefits of the DFS, which include small chip area, high-resolution fractional frequency multiplication and clock deskew."
