The DUSB2-ULPI is a hardware implementation of a full/high-speed peripheral controller that interfaces to an ULPI bus transceiver. DCD’s IP Core contains a USB PID and address recognition logic, state machines to handle USB packets and transactions, endpoints number recognition logic and endpoints FIFO control logic.
Controller with flexible data-rate targets autonomous cars
Standalone controller for the Controller Area Network, (CAN), the DCAN FD is widely used in automotive and industrial applications. It conforms to Bosch CAN 2.0B specification (2.0B Active) and CAN FD (Flexible Data-rate) - in accordance to ISO 11898-1:2015.
32-bit target interface meets PCI 3.0 requirements
The DTPCI32DC has been introduced to Digital Core Design's portfolio. It’s a Dual Clock 32-bit PCI Bus Target Interface IP Core which meets all requirements of the PCI 3.0 specification for a target device. Moreover, it compromises a minimal gate count with a high-bandwidth data transfer.
Silicon solution boosts performance to 1.48/2.67DMIPS/MHz
Recognised as one of the most prestigious promotional events in the world, EXPO is a great opportunity to show the most innovative potential to a wider audience. Digital Core Design has been selected by the Ministry of Administration and Digitization (MAC) to present the D32PRO in a form of an interactive stand in the Polish pavilion from 12th to 18th October during Polish ICT Week at EXPO Milano 2015.
32-bit CPU is fully scalable
A fully scalable 32-bit CPU has been introduced by Digital Core Design. The D32PRO has been equipped with an FPU and a wide variety of available peripherals, including USB, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, LIN, RTC, HDLC and Smart Card.
IP core is 75.08 times faster than predecessor
Equipped with built-in on-chip debugger, the DQ80251 IP core has been introduced by Digital Core Design. The device executes MCS-51 and MCS-251 instruction sets 75.08 times faster than the company’s original 8051 core.
8051 MCU IP core is the industry's fastest
An 8051 MCU IP core, claimed to be the world’s fastest, has been introduced by DCD. Boasting a Dhrystone 2.1 performance rating of 0.27292 DMIPS/MHz, the DQ8051 IP core is 29.01 times faster than the original 80C51 chip operating at the same frequency. In addition, the IP core consumes as a little as 1.2µW/MHz. The closest competitor is 26 times faster than the original 80C51 chip and consumes almost two times more power than the DQ80...
I2C core acts as master transmitter or master receiver
The I2C is a two-wire, bi-directional serial bus, which provides simple and efficient method of short distance data transmission between many devices. But reality shows that the I2C bus can be very confusing, not just for newcomers. The DI2CM core from Digital Core Design, of Poland, provides an interface between a MPU or MCU and the I2C bus. It can work as a master transmitter or a master receiver.
Platform enhances USB HID design
A platform, developed to enhance USB HID design, has been introduced by Digital Core Design (DCD). The design platform addresses the challenge of a true programmable embedded SoC integrating configurable analogue and digital peripheral functions.
MCU core features sophisticated on-chip peripherals
Digital Core Design has introduced the D6811E IP Core, a redefined 8-bit MCU IP Core with highly sophisticated, on-chip peripheral capabilities, aimed at IoT sensors and beacons. Thanks to its binary compatibility with Motorola’s 68HC11 MCU, the core can be implemented in barcode readers, hotel card key writers, robotics, and various embedded systems.
Instruction Smart Trace aids transparent SoC debugging
Digital Core Design has enhanced its 8051 portfolio with the functionality of an Instruction Smart Trace. The DP8051, DP80390, and DQ8051, thanks to an Instruction Smart Trace (IST), can all efficiently reduce trace memory size and increase traced programme history.
D68HC11K with applications notes, development board & tools from Digital Core Design
In a standard configuration, the core has an integrated on-chip major peripheral functions. An asynchronous serial communication interface (SCI) and a separate synchronous serial peripheral interface (SPI) are included. The main 16-bit, free-running timer system, contains input capture and output-compare lines and a real-time interrupt function. An 8-bit pulse accumulator subsystem can count external events or measure external periods.
IP Core performs a serial-to-parallel conversion
DCD’s UART IP Core performs a serial-to-parallel conversion on data characters received from a peripheral device or a MODEM. And for those who need more, the D16950 enables also parallel-to-serial conversion on data characters received from the CPU. The processor can read a complete status of the UART at any time during the functional operation.
IP Core exchanges data between EEPROM and CPU’s RAM
Targeted specifically for DRAM designs, Digital Core Design has introduced the DEEPROM IP Core. Suitable for applications requiring data storage in external non-volatile memories, the DEEPROM performs communication and exchanges data between external serial EEPROM Memory and CPU’s RAM memory interface.
IP core combines reduced CPU utilisation & low area consumption
Designed for smart reader applications, the DSMART is an IP core combining highly reduced CPU utilization & low area consumption. The DCD IP core is also designed to be able to activate and deactivate cards, perform resets, handle ATR reception, as well as other additional features.
DCD’s HDLC/SDLC controller aims telecommunication
The latest latest soft IP Core, the DHDLC, has been announced by Digital Core Design. Designed to control HDLC/SDLC transmission frame and optimized for great variety of 8, 16 and 32-bit MCUs, the DHDLC is a technology independent design and can therefore can be implemented in both ASIC and FPGA.
