Greenliant Systems Selects PLDA Solution

PLDA, in PCIe solutions, announced that Greenliant Systems, Ltd has selected PLDA’s IP for its next-generation PCIe SSD controller.

Greenliant, in energy-efficient, secure and reliable solid state storage, controller and flash memory products, joins a growing number of companies using PLDA solutions.

Responding to the growing trend of PCIe use in storage applications, PLDA delivers quality, silicon PCIe IP optimized for the SSD market. The maturity of PLDA’s PCIe controller solution and the company’s reputation for customer support are among the key deciding factors for storage companies.

“Greenliant Systems has been working with PLDA on several projects for more than three years. PLDA has provided excellent technical support during integration and system verification for our advanced, customized configuration. We have been able to lower our project risks and time to market, thanks to the maturity of PLDA’s PCIe IP code,” said Arthur Hsu, VP, engineering, Greenliant.

Storage-related features in PLDA’s PCIe Soft IP include:

• An option to reduce the memory/size area particularly benefiting to designs based on a cluster of EndPoints.
• Mechanisms to dynamically change operating frequency and optimize performances versus low power.
• An inbuilt option to automatically insert pipelining, especially useful when targeting slower (low power) processes.
• Support for features widely used in PCIe SSDs, such as L1 substate and SRIS.
  

“We work hard to provide PCIe solutions for the storage market. Today, we are proud to be part of the success of Greenliant Systems, a major supplier of solid state storage. We are already developing and getting technical successes on the upcoming 4th generation of PCIe that will be the next step for the storage market,” said Stephane Hauradou, co-founder, PLDA.

PLDA provides a configurable silicon-proven PCIe controller IPs, from generations 1 through 4, all available.
