Advanced Knowledge Associates Joins AMCC Partner Program
AKA's PRISM300 Part of a Growing Embedded Ecosystem
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) March 3, 2008 --
Advanced Knowledge Associates (AKA) - the
leader in miniaturized, reconfigurable, fully self-contained and
high-performance system-on-module technology - has announced that it has
joined Applied Micro Circuits Corporation's (NASDAQ:AMCC) Partner
program. This announcement comes on the heels of AKA's recently-launched PRISM300
featuring AMCC's powerful award-winning PowerPC 440EPx embedded
processor. The PRISM300 perfectly demonstrates the flexibility and
performance benefits that the modular approach to system design
facilitates.
AMCC is a global leader in embedded Power Architecture™
processing, optical transport and storage solutions including the
award-winning PowerPC 405 and 440 families. Its family of products is
supported by a large and growing ecosystem of third-party hardware and
software providers. AKA appears in two partner categories: Board-level
Products and System Design Services. AKA's PRISM300 couples a
high-performance AMCC PowerPC core with the low cost, high-density,
Xilinx Spartan-3E FPGA, resulting in a 3.2x3.2in 546 pin PGA module that
boasts a high level of hardware and software integration and flexibility
to enable and accelerate advanced embedded system design.
Mastered by the AMCC PowerPC 440EPx, the PRISM300 offers cutting edge
processor performance with speeds up to 667MHz and optional on-chip
IPSec/SSL acceleration. Devices also combine a powerful complement of
memory - 32MB SDRAM (FPGA), 1GB DDR2 SDRAM (processor) and 256MB NAND
Flash - together with an extensive peripheral set for control,
communications and data storage purposes, commonly used in
communications, automotive, military, and medical applications.
“We are pleased to have AKA as a member of our
Partner program. AKA is committed to providing solutions and services
that assist designers to develop their products faster, easier and more
cost-effectively,” comments AMCC's Charlie
Ashton, Director of Software. “We encourage
our customers to explore the wide range of industry-standard hardware
and software products that are available through our partner program.
AKA's PRISM series of system-on-module devices - including the PRISM300
- represent the kind of valuable building blocks that are available to
our customers to assist them in their advanced PowerPC based designs.”
“We are delighted to be playing a full part in
building the embedded eco-system around AMCC's leading embedded
processor chips. Our PRISMs help system builders maximize performance,
save space and get to market faster, and we are sure that AMCC's
embedded partners program shares the same goals,”
adds Guy Marom, AKA's CEO.
