NetLogic Microsystems Shipping NL3180GLQ NETLite(TM) Packet Processor for High-Volume Entry-Level Switches, Routers and Access Equipment
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Sept. 12, 2005—
NetLogic Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq:NETL), the leader in
the design and development of knowledge-based processors, today
announced shipments of its NL3180GLQ NETLite(TM) processor,
specifically designed for cost-sensitive, high-volume applications
such as entry-level switches, routers and access equipment. The device
seamlessly interfaces to network processors, merchant silicon
solutions, field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) and application
specific integrated circuits (ASIC) that follow the industry-standard
Network Processing Forum LA-1 specification.
NetLogic Microsystems' NL3180GLQ family of NETLite processors
support up to 512K IPv4 and up to 128K IPv6 routing entries. This
significant increase in database capacity enables entry-level
networking products to support the deployment of an array of advanced
IP network features including IPv6 routing, QoS, security and packet
classification on converged networks for voice, video and data
communications.
"The NL3180GLQ processor significantly upgrades the NETLite
processor family to support a new class of high-volume, cost-sensitive
customers," said James McDermott, director of marketing for NetLogic
Microsystems.
The NETLite processor family leverages circuit techniques
developed and refined during the design of NetLogic Microsystems'
current market proven knowledge-based processor families, and greatly
benefits from die size optimization, low power dissipation and
redundant computing techniques. In addition, the NETLite processor's
simplified pipeline architecture allows for a lower cost of
manufacture and lower cost system designs. These new processors are
ideal for entry-level systems that do not require the advanced
parallel processing and deep pipelining performance of NetLogic
Microsystems' high-end knowledge-based processors.
For rapid time to market, customers can use a comprehensive
software and hardware development environment for the new device. The
software development kit (SDK) includes, software drivers, an API,
sample code and bring-up utilities. The hardware development kit (HDK)
includes an evaluation card and reference schematics.
