Analog Bits to Host Tabula ABAX 3PLD Demo at TSMC Booth #294
SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 3 -- Tabula, Inc., a privately held fabless semiconductor company and developer of the ABAX family of 3-D Programmable Logic Devices (3PLDs), will be demonstrating its 40nm ABAX product family at the Design Automation Conference held June 13-18th in Anaheim, California at the TSMC Booth #294. Tabula will exhibit with its IP partner, Analog Bits, Inc., the global market leader in providing customized transistor level IP components for CMOS logic processes and who developed the PMA portion of the physical layer SERDES, PLLs, DLLs, and I/Os embedded in ABAX.
At the TSMC booth #294 Tabula will demonstrate:
-- ABAX 48 SERDES channels on chip
-- Each SERDES can run at 6.5Gbps and supports multiple protocols
Companies designing and manufacturing communications infrastructure, industrial, medical, test, and military/aerospace applications will not want to miss the opportunity to see Tabula's recently announced ABAX 3PLDs product family. Based on the company's groundbreaking Spacetime 3-Dimensional programmable logic architecture, ABAX delivers a logic platform that blends the programmability and fast time-to-market of FPGAs with the performance and volume price points traditionally associated with ASICs and ASSPs.

"Leveraging our innovative Spacetime 3D architecture, the ABAX 3PLD products deliver unprecedented price/ performance for programmable logic," said Alain Bismuth, VP of Marketing at Tabula. "Deployed on TSMC 40nm process, the family offers a very rich set of features and we look forward to demonstrating our robust 48-channel, multi-protocol 6.5Gbps SERDES at DAC 2010."
The silicon IP developed by Analog Bits and implemented in the ABAX 3PLD demo includes 68 programmable PLLs operating in excess of 1.8 GHz, 48 lanes of 6.5Gbps SERDES physical layer capable of supporting multiple standards (Gigabit Ethernet, PCI-Express, SATA, XAUI and other CDR protocols) and programmable I/Os and DLLs capable of supporting DDR-2 and DDR-3-compatible memory interfaces. Each of these physical layers have been thoroughly tested and qualified as compatible with TSMC's 40nm manufacturing process.
"At Analog Bits our core business value and focus is to be a trusted partner for our clients designing in leading edge process technologies such as TSMC 40nm," says Mahesh Tirupattur, Executive VP, Analog Bits. "We are pleased to enable Tabula's breakthrough ABAX 3PLD devices to communicate with the external world with our highly reliable and differentiated connectivity and clocking IP solution."
