EnSilica can support designs across a wide range of applications, but we have specialist design knowledge in communications and multimedia. Our expertise has been applied in a range of market segments including consumer, wireless, security, and automotive.
In addition we have extensive experience of embedded processors in both FPGA and ASIC technologies and the integration of high-speed interfaces.
Communications
EnSilica provides wireless and wired access silicon solutions and services covering system level modeling and architecture design through to the detailed software and hardware implementations and verification. Our expertise covers all aspects of modern modem design from modulation, forward error correction to channel synchronization. We have special expertise in communications IP and cutting edge OFDM-based technologies including WLAN, 3GPP2, DVB, DAB and DRM. Rapid development of solutions can be delivered using a SystemC based design flow utilising a common library of components. For solutions requiring a higher degree of optimization traditional DSP or RTL implementations are used.
Multimedia
EnSilica can provide solutions and implementation services covering video-based consumer and broadcast products. Our project portfolio includes video enhancement processing IP, de-interlacers, scaling and format conversion, video coding (H.264 and MPEG2), multilayer, multi-window video display controllers. End products for these solutions include TV SoC, studio equipment, broadcast and security cameras as well as automotive entertainment and display systems.
Embedded processors
EnSilica have supported designs based around all the most popular embedded processors (8051, ARM, ARC, NiosII and Microblaze) and have expert knowledge of AMBA bus architectures and tool chain porting ( Eclipse, GNU, GDB).
In addition, EnSilica have their own highly configurable 16/32 bit RISC processor IP (eSi-RISC), which offers leading performance whilst minimizing area and power.
Interfaces
The ability to integrate high-speed interfaces into FPGA or ASIC devices is a key requirement for most designs. EnSilica have extensive experience working with many of the common standards in use today from a range of IP providers. These include PCI, PCI-express, USB, Ethernet, I2S, I2C, PVCI, AMBA APB, AHB and AXI.
