Virage Logic has launched the Integra portfolio of System-on-Chip (SoC) Infrastructure IP, which includes advanced Multi-layer and Control networks, embedded Quality of Service (QoS) functionality as well as memory controllers for embedded SRAMs/ROMs.

The company said that its new offerings are based on the technology that Virage Logic acquired from NXP in November 2009. The Integra Multi-Layer and Control Networks connect with Virage Logic’s ARC processor family via AMBA interfaces and provide a hook-up to the newly introduced portfolio of Processor Peripherals.

Virage Logic said that its Integra QoS Engine interfaces to the company’s Intelli DDR controllers. The Integra Memory Controllers are optimised for use with Virage Logic’s SiWare Memory embedded SRAM/ROM memories.

Henk Hamoen, director of marketing for SoC Infrastructure at Virage Logic, said: "The Integra SoC Infrastructure IP portfolio was designed to be high performance and cost effective, and therefore is ideally suited for any application in today’s world of internet-enabled programmable multi-core devices.

"Production proven innovative data and control interconnect networks as well as memory controllers for embedded SRAMs/ROMs are provided. The QoS Engine also provides unique system Quality of Service features that enable perfect media streaming in complex multi-media SoCs including Digital TV, Set Top Boxes and portable audio/video devices."
