Aeroflex Gaisler provides IP cores and supporting development tools for embedded processors based on the SPARC architecture. The key product is the LEON synthesizable processor model together with a full development environment and a library of IP cores (GRLIB). Aeroflex Gaisler solutions help companies develop highly competitive customer and application-specific system on chip designs.

We will also display Aeroflex's Mixed-Signal ASIC capabilities ideal for Medical/Security X-Ray Imaging, Point-of-Sale, Factory Floor Automation and In-Vehicle Health Monitoring.

Technologies on Display:

LEON4
Product Category: Semiconductor IP

The LEON4 processor core is a synthesizable VHDL model of a 32-bit processor compliant with the SPARC V8 architecture. The core is highly configurable, and particularly suitable for system-on-a-chip (SOC) designs. The main features are: 1.8 DMIPS/Mhz, up to 1.2 GHz clock speed at a 65 nm process, multiprocessor support, optional MMU, FPU and L1/L2 caches.

LEON3
Product Category: Semiconductor IP

The LEON3 processor core is a synthesizable VHDL model of a 32-bit processor compliant with the SPARC V8 architecture. The core is highly configurable, and particularly suitable for system-on-a-chip (SOC) designs. The main features are: 1.2 DMIPS/Mhz, up to 800 MHz clock speed at a 65 nm process, multiprocessor support, optional MMU, FPU and L1 caches.

GRLIB
Product Category: Semiconductor IP

The GRLIB IP Library is an integrated set of reusable IP cores, designed for system-on-chip (SOC) development. The library includes cores for AMBA AHB/APB control, the LEON3 SPARC processor, 32-bit PC133 SDRAM controller, 32-bit PCI bridge with DMA, 10/100/1000 Mbit Ethernet MAC, 8/16/32-bit PROM and SRAM controller, 16/32/64-bit DDR/DDR2 controllers, USB-2.0 host and device controllers, CAN controller, TAP controller, SPI, I2C, ATA, UART with FIFO, modular timer unit, interrupt controller, and a 32-bit GPIO port.

Special Booth Activities:

Aeroflex Gaisler will conduct a demo of the newly released LEON4 processor. A LEON4 chip including all perhiperals needed for a full workstation application will be demonstrated.
