Network Processing ASICs for a high-end EDGE Router
 
 
The customer

Our customer is a US based networking company.

 
The challenge

Wipro's customer required hardware consultancy for design of ASICs for their Edge router product. This also included board design for the phy card with interfaces to support OC3 / OC12 / OC48 and OC192 rates, schematic entry, performing signal integrity checks, FPGA development, and board level simulation.

 
The solution

Wipro's solution was the design and implementation of three Network processing ASIC designs with combined gate count complexity of more than 1.8 million gates (excluding on-chip RAMs). This was done by a team of 35 engineers in a short span of 10 months.

The design cycle extended from design/coding stage to synthesis. Wipro's team of board engineers delivered the design of a variety of physical interface cards for the IP switch product, as well as "functionality testing through board level simulation" and "ensuring timing through signal integrity checks". Successful boot-up was achieved within a few hours of powering up on all boards.

Key highlights of the project included:

Extensive use of tools for high quality RTL implementation

Early floor planning of I/O and on-chip macros

System level simulation


Subsequently, Wipro's software team developed the firmware, network management and protocol software for the switch.

The Chipset design was a first silicon success. Our extensive experience in cutting-edge ASIC and board development, knowledge in networking, large pool of experienced designers, proven design practices and a rich & industry standard tool set allowed the client to beta test the switch well ahead of their competition.
