FFSA LSI solution enables microwave communication equipment

FFSA allows users to replace broad FPGA series and ASICs with pre-designed masters featuring configurable I/Os, Ser/Des and SRAMs. The solution supports a number of Ser/Des protocols for wired and wireless networking, as well as storage and consumer applications.

“NEC has adopted FFSA for its water-resistant, durable, compact microwave system iPASOLINK AOR and will expand the adoption of FFSA to other iPASOLINK systems,” commented Mr. Atsushi Noro, Deputy General Manager, Mobile Wireless Solutions Division, NEC. “By changing from conventional FPGAs to a FFSA, NEC was able to achieve high performance with low power consumption, as well as a timely product launch to address the needs of the quickly growing mobile network.”
