Unique Solutions for a Demanding Market Space
July 22, 2008 - 12:18pm — ikhozamConsumer Handheld Challenges
Traditionally, FPGAs have avoided the consumer handheld market during to its stringent requirements for low power, low cost, and small space. As consumer electronics become more sophisticated, new technology breakthroughs in manufacturing, packaging, and display solutions emerge. Market dynamics remain affected by the same factors: price, power and space.

CSIX Interface
"Features
Conforms to common switch interface (CSIX) specification CSIX-L1 1.0
Supports UTOPIA and packet over SONET (POS) interfaces on the traffic manager side and synchronous interfaces on the fabric side
Includes user data and flow control channels
Optimized for Altera® APEX™ 20KC and APEX II architectures
Description
The CSIX defines a physical interface for transferring information between a traffic manager (network processor) and a switching fabric. SOCmagic's CSIX interface core implements the transition from traditional interfaces to the CSIX interface.
The CSIX interface core consists of two components: traffic manager-to-CSIX, which is applied to the line card, and CSIX-to-fabric, which is applied to the fabric. The traffic manager-to-CSIX adapts the traffic manager interface (UTOPIA and POS) to the CSIX interface, and the CSIX-to-fabric adapts the CSIX interface to the fabric synchronous interface."
