Partner Overview

Logic Innovations, Inc. (LII) has been providing FPGA and ASIC models and hardware and software design services since 1986. LII provides services in the following areas:

Turnkey hardware and software development
ASIC prototyping using Xilinx FPGAs
Design experience and expertise includes:
Set-top boxes for cable and satellite broadcast systems
High speed digital, analog and integrated circuit design
Production test systems for cable and satellite equipment
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) logic designs in Xilinx FPGAs
Embedded systems and real time operating system software design

LII's Intellectual Property (IP) Products currently include the PCI Bus Master/Target Model and ATM Building Blocks. LII has developed numerous storage, communications and portable computing peripherals that use the PCI Bus interface. In these projects the PCI Bus interface was developed using Hardware Design Language (HDL) to allow customization for different applications and porting to specific FPGAs and ASICs to provide full speed, zero wait state operation.

Similarly, LII has developed communications products such as cable modems that use the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) communications protocol. The ATM Building Blocks were designed as HDL for implementation in FPGAs to accommodate design changes and multiple product configurations. LII has now released these tried-and-proven PCI Bus and ATM HDL models for use by system designers who demand fast time-to-market, design flexibility and the ability to customize. These products are available as source code in VHDL or Verilog format, or object code in device-specific netlist format. Demand for the IP Products is rapidly increasing commensurate with gate capacities in ASICs and FPGAs, as designers seek to reduce development time and cost by using drop-in, standard logic modules.
