PLDA: Intellectual Property ('IP') for FPGAs

Stephane Hauradou, CTO of PLDA, discusses PLDA's intellectual property and services for FPGA design. PLDA’s success is based on doing one thing very well—intellectual property cores (and related boards) for ASICs, Structured-ASICs, and FPGAs for high-speed busses, such as PCI Express, PCI-X, PCI, PXI Express, AHB-PCIe and AXI-PCIe. They believe busses are especially important because they are necessary in virtually every design and can be a ''make it or break it'' factor in an end product. If your interface bus is not functioning optimally, the entire design becomes less efficient. In the world of PCIe, this can be especially challenging because PCIe enables some advanced bus management features that require a real understanding of its integration. PLDA designs IP for both ASICs and FPGAs and the platforms have a huge amount of commonality.
