Xilinx Announces LDPC Error Correction IP Fundamental to Enabling Next Generation Flash-Based Applications for the Cloud and Data Center Storage Market

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) today announced its Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) error correction IP fundamental to enabling next generation Flash-based applications for the cloud and data center storage market. As NAND Flash continues to advance with 3D NAND technologies, LDPC error correction is a critical core function for meeting the stringent reliability and endurance requirements of todays storage solutions. Xilinxs LDPC IP solution features best-in-class code performance near Shannon limit, achieves very low error floor, and supports both hard and soft decision decoding. The architecture is scalable and future proof to support various next-generation non-volatile memory devices and offers the high throughput and low latency required for the most demanding storage applications. This solution requires 50% less logic versus alternate solutions and is Xilinx FPGA optimized for smaller area and power.
