The Silicon Creations Multi-Protocol SERDES PMA was a key building block for Microchip Technology’s PolarFire® FPGA lineup. The SERDES is used on hundreds of FPGA design wins and counting. This enables PCIe, 10GbE, DisplayPort and JESD204B amongst other protocols to be supported by the PolarFire FPGA.

When seeking third party IP suppliers for our new Synergy IoT platform silicon at Renesas we spoke to a number of IP vendors. We found Silicon Creations’ honesty refreshing and their proposed PLL IP offerings met our needs well. After a year of chip design we’ve found them the single best IP vendor to work with, clearly beating over 10 other vendors. They have delivered on all of their promises and delighted our design team with their candid and efficient support and error-free design kits. I will be happy to work with them again.

Silicon Creations' IP gave us the highest level of satisfaction in terms of schedule, price and performance. In particular, the technical support and discussions through direct visits to our office were impressive. In conclusion, we were able to develop excellent performance products using the Silicon Creations' Fractional-PLL IP. We highly recommend using Silicon Creations' IPs for your successful project.

We licensed a Core-Voltage Fractional-N PLL and Spread Spectrum modulator circuit from Silicon Creations in 2013. Although our V-by-One® HS, which has the dominant share of the worldwide 4K television market, is a low EMI interface in principal, it was improved by using Silicon Creations' IP. Throughout our project, Silicon Creations provided excellent support to ensure the PLL was properly integrated into our design to ensure first silicon success.

Silicon Creations supplied Ceragon Networks with a XAUI transceiver and system PLL that achieved first pass success in the Ceragon system, beating the standards with high margins. The project went according to plan, from the beginning of project through delivery of IP views, integration, and testing. We found Silicon Creations to be very responsive and eager to support and educate us about their IP in a very open way. Silicon Creations designs robust low-jitter SERDES and PLLs along with providing excellent support.

At KDPOF we had a project that required both a PLL and a Serdes block. Silicon Creations provided both IP in the process we needed within the time scales that we required. Silicon Creations has also given very good support throughout the design process including design reviews at different stages of the design. We will use them again and can highly recommend them to others.

KDPOF
We selected Silicon Creations to provide us with a SerDes for the Associative Memory chip we plan to use in the next generation detector in the Large Hadron Collider in CERN. Silicon Creations support was prompt and their IP works as claimed. The link in our chip has proven robust – our Bit Error Rate testing implies an error rate better than 10E-21 at 2Gbps, easily sufficient for our purposes (Next generation associative memory devices for the FTK tracking processor of the ATLAS experiment).

CERN Fast Tracker Processor
Tehuti selected Silicon Creations to supply a compact, ultra-low jitter PLL to replace an off-chip precision clock source. Silicon Creations worked with us to ensure their IP was safely integrated and the PLL has met our requirements on first silicon. The PLL’s excellent performance will enable us to save significant system costs. We are very happy with Silicon Creations as an IP partner and look forward to working with them again.
