  • Adaptation of our cores to further communication standards, and furthermore, the re-design to proprietary solutions. A high reuse factor guarantees low costs.
  • Adaptation of existing cores to your requirements with respect to error correction performance, throughput, flexibility, etc.

Low power, small footprint Design Methodology

Optimization of the IP cores for the selected ASIC technology node, with a focus on minimizing power consumption and VLSI area to precisely meet customer specifications. A holistic approach and comprehensive optimization methodology are employed to achieve these objectives.

Integration Services on Customer FPGA Boards

Optimize your development process with our advanced IP core integration services for your platform. Creonic specializes in seamlessly integrating our IP cores into the FPGA fabric, connecting them with third-party IP cores like JESD204 or DMA cores. Additionally, we provide a comprehensive software API that enables you to easily control and monitor the status of our IP cores.

 

By choosing our integration services, you can save valuable time and resources while significantly reducing development time.

System Design

The development of complex communications systems should not only rely on the acquisition of IP cores. According to our experience, a look at the whole system shows high potential for more powerful and yet more efficient implementations.

 

Therefore, Creonic offers you communications system design services for ASIC and FPGA. Our know-how comprises the integration of many components of signal processing. We are able to adapt these components to your system to your specific requirements and match the components accordingly. In the end you can show your customer an extraordinary system.

The Creonic IEEE 802.11 LDPC decoder is a high-performance implementation for WLAN and further applications and supports all LDPC codes as defined by the standard.

OpenZR+/ Open ROADM oFEC 800GbE

FEC Encoder and Decoder including constellation shaping for optical high-speed application.

SDA, ITU High-Speed Optical Communication IP Cores

SDA OCT V3.0 Encoder and Decoder

The Creonic SDA OCT V3.0 Encoder handles the construction of Over-The-Air (OTA) frames as indicated in the standard, a preamble followed by a header and payload data, with both fields being protected by cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and forward error correction (FEC).

 

ITU 25GPON

The Creonic ITU 25G PON LDPC Encoder and Decoder support the default LDPC (17280, 14592) coding scheme, as well as the optional LDPC (17152, 14592) scheme. The IP cores are available for ASIC and FPGAs (AMD Xilinx, Altera/Intel, Microchip).

Full ETSI DVB-S2X Wideband Transmitter and Receiver

Creonic provides IP cores for wideband (500 Msymb/s) DVB-S2X demodulation, LDPC/BCH decoding as well as Modulation.

 

The Creonic DVB-S2X wideband modulator is a low-complexity high-performance solution that allows for symbol rates of up to 500 MSymb/s (4 Gbit/s for 256-APSK). The Creonic DVB-S2X high performance wideband demodulator performs all tasks of an inner receiver and achieves throughputs of up to 500 Msymb/s on state- of-the-art FPGAs.  The Creonic DVB-S2X wideband decoder is a silicon-proven, scalable solution that allows for symbol rates of up to 500 Msymb/s on state-of-the-art FPGAs.
