Algotochip Industry's First Company to Deliver Complete SoC GDSII From C Models of Algorithms

Algotochip, specialists in converting C models of algorithms directly to a complete SoC silicon IP, today announced delivery of a SoC silicon solution for mimoOn's mi!MobilePHY^TM (LTE (News - Alert) UE PHY) reference chain. mimoOn, the definitive leader LTE software products for software defined radio (SDR) platforms, delivered fully functional reference code for the LTE UE PHY standard to Algotochip. Within a period of 12 weeks, Algotochip successfully completed the SoC GDSII for mimoOn's C-code.

"Based on this evaluation, we are very impressed with Algotochip's ability to deliver a complete GDSII solution from our LTE UE reference C-chain in a very short time-frame," said Peter Walther, VP of Sales at mimoOn. "We believe that Algotochip technology is a paradigm shift in the semiconductor industry and look forward to partnering with Algotochip on additional projects."

Algotochip received standard ANSI C-code and test vectors to simulate the code's functionality, from mimoOn. Based on these inputs, Algotochip successfully generated an optimal SoC for the C-code that is very efficient both in terms of scheduling and power. The silicon solution created by Algotochip included the following deliverables:

• A fully customized programmable micro-controller and programmable DSP along with the C compiler, assembler, linker and cycle accurate simulator and firmware for the programmable solution. All these are designed specifically for mimoOn's mi!MobilePHY C-code.
• A fully customized SoC with ideal HW/SW partitioning consiting of programmable, non-programmable and system-level solutions.
• A cycle-accurate simulator for the entire SoC and complete documentation.
• Fully synthesizable RTL, generated in Verilog for the entire SoC.
• A complete GDSII, based on mimoOn's mi!MobilePHY C-code, for multiple nanometer process nodes.

About Algotochip

Algotochip is the industry's first company to provide complete SoC GDSII from Algorithms written in C-code in as little as 8 weeks. The company's patented approach provides five direct benefits to the customer: 1) Algotochip enables the customer to realize the complete custom SoC from their C-code in a very short time. Algotochip fully supports industry standard ANSI C-code; 2) There is no need to license any 3^rd party IP cores for the SoC nor pay royalties, as all the components of the SoC are custom designed for the user algorithm; 3) Algotochip enables the customer to quickly explore the potential area, power, and cost for envisioned products; 4) Algotochip enables the customer to explore different implementation choices in terms of process technology and fabrication houses; and 5) Algotochip achieves significantly lower power through proprietary power aware architecture design.

The company is privately held and based in Sunnyvale, California, U.S.A. For additional information, please visit http://www.algotochip.com.
