BroadLight Continues 3rd Generation of PON System Deployment Success with Denali DDR Memory System Solution


Databahn DDR Controller IP Speeds Production of High-Performance Networking Applications

PALO ALTO, Calif., May 16 -- Denali Software, Inc., a world-leading provider of electronic design automation (EDA) software and intellectual property (IP), today announced that BroadLight, a leading supplier of GPON semiconductors and software, has successfully used Databahn(TM) DDR memory controller IP for use in a wide range of end product designs, including high-speed networking applications. Denali's Databahn solutions aid BroadLight's developers to quickly design and verify DDR memory systems that meet or exceed OEM high-speed PON design requirements and time-to-market windows.

"Memory bandwidth is a significant bottleneck in today's high-performance networking applications," Igor Elkanovich, VP of VLSI at BroadLight. "Denali's expertise in memory system design and verification has been instrumental to our market leadership and has allowed our designers to rapidly address customer design requirements and networking applications, achieving over 40 GPON worldwide design wins and delivery of several GPON products to our customers."

The Databahn product provides a comprehensive IP solution with configurability for a given customer application. Denali's Databahn DDR memory controllers offer a powerful, multi-port solution with configurable features and functionality to satisfy system performance requirements in terms of bandwidth, latency, and power reduction.

"Today's SoCs require specialized DDR memory systems that must address power, performance, and time-to-market," said Brian Gardner, vice president of IP products for Denali. "Our Databahn DDR controller is a market-proven solution that offers a range of programmability and configurability to address application specific performance. We are pleased to work with BroadLight and participate in making their customers successful."
