Achronix Selects Synopsys’ Leading DesignWare IP Solutions to Accelerate Development of High-Performance Data Acceleration FPGA

Silicon-Proven DesignWare IP for PCI Express 5.0 and DDR4 Delivers Low Latency and High Bandwidth for Data-Intensive Workloads

Synopsys, Inc. announced that Achronix has selected Synopsys’ silicon-proven DesignWare IP for PCI Express(PCIe)5.0 and DesignWare DDR4 IP for its latest family of high-performance Speedster7t FPGAs. The silicon-proven DesignWare Controller IP for PCIe 5.0 implements a 512-bit datapath width supporting x16 links to deliver the maximum bandwidth required for Achronix’s FPGA. The PCIe 5.0 controller also meets Achronix’s aggressive low-power and low-latency requirements.

The DesignWare DDR4 Controller and PHY IP enables high-bandwidth and low-latency memory interfaces, operating at 3200 Mb/s, a key requirement in AI systems needing high-capacity external memory. The reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features allow Achronix to successfully debug and resolve PCIe linkup issues and tailor the DDR controller to their target application.
