NurLogic Design, Inc., a developer of high-bandwidth connectivity solutions, announced the next phase in its corporate strategy: to focus on connectivity solutions for the high growth communications infrastructure markets. This strategy expands the company's business to fiber optic interface products, along with delivering integrated circuits (ICs) under its own brand name. NurLogic has delivered intellectual property (IP) to the communications industry since its inception, along with mixed-signal ICs developed for customer branding.

NurLogic's multi-delivery strategy allows the customer to dictate which is the highest value-add method of delivery for them. Products can be delivered as IP cores for integration onto an IC, or as an IC for integration at the module or board level. The strategy leverages NurLogic's strong IP research and development independent of delivery approach.

NurLogic's IC business will emphasize high-bandwidth parallel fiber optic networking solutions. Future product offerings will include the optical-to-electrical (OE) connectivity ICs, including physical media dependent (PMD) transceivers as well as other physical layer (PHY) products.

NurLogic's business has been operating profitably since inception in 1997. The company's experience is primarily based in mixed-signal communications and high-bandwidth I/O IP. NurLogic's product portfolio contains a broad range of bus interfaces such as LVDS, PECL, and CML, in addition to analog timing functions such as phase locked loops (PLL) circuits. These elements address critical customer requirements for their communications products.

NurLogic will focus future connectivity IP expansion in the areas of emerging chip-to-chip bus interfaces and cores that allow aggregate bandwidth in excess of 1Gbps; high-performance analog timing functions such as PLL and clock and data recovery (CDR); as well as high-bandwidth communications cores like serialization devices. In addition to NurLogic's IC and IP connectivity focus, the company will sustain its standard cell development efforts.
