BiTMICRO Networks Selects QualCore Logic to Develop Analog IP Cores
BiTMICRO Networks, Inc. has partnered with QualCore Logic to develop a series of analog intellectual property (IP) cores for the development of its flash solid state disk drives (SSDs).
Under terms of the agreement, QualCore Logic will develop USB physical (PHY) and other analog IP cores that will be used in BiTMICRO's TALINO™ and ISIP™ family of semiconductor storage solutions. By taking advantage of QualCore Logic's expertise, BiTMICRO hopes to achieve a higher level of integration and performance for its next-generation SSDs at a lower cost. As a result, many of the previous barriers to entry for solid-state storage applications are eliminated and BiTMICRO can penetrate a much broader, deeper market for its storage products. "QualCore Logic's superior technical capabilities, its flexible business model and outstanding technical support make it the perfect partner," says Rey Bruce, BiTMICRO chief executive officer (CEO). "We have exacting requirements and believe that the QualCore Logic team can meet them." The cores, available in the second half of 2007, will be implemented in 90- and 130-nanometer standard CMOS process technologies from two of the leading commercial foundries and integrated into BiTMICRO's system-on-chip (SoC) designs. QualCore Logic will develop a test chip to extensively validate that the IP works as intended. The cores will include a complete set of deliverables required for fast, easy integration. "We are pleased to be selected by BiTMICRO to help develop the next-generation solid state disk drives," states Mahendra Jain, president and CEO of QualCore Logic. "Its products must offer rugged reliability and we welcome the challenge." |
