Rambus, a silicon IP and chip provider, has announced that SEAKR Engineering, a provider of advanced electronics for space applications, selected the Rambus 28G Multi-protocol LR SerDes PHY and the CryptoManager Root of Trust for its next-generation application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) designs.

“We’re delighted that SEAKR has chosen Rambus high-speed interface and defence-grade security cores to provide their customers innovative and silicon-proven technologies,” said Sean Fan, chief operating officer at Rambus. “Leading-edge IP solutions are mission critical to addressing the system design challenges for aerospace and satellite communications. Rambus best-in-class power, performance and area, including versatile and multi-protocol SerDes solutions and silicon-proven architecture were key differentiators in SEAKR’s decision.”

Tony Lowry, ASIC program manager at SEAKR continued, “Rambus’ ability to provide IP solutions for both moving and securing data with state-of-the-art performance was a key benefit in the selection process. We are delighted to partner with Rambus as a valued silicon IP provider for both high-speed interfaces and embedded security, enabling SEAKR to support the advanced performance and data security needs for our aerospace customers, bringing these complex systems to market more quickly.”

Rambus says its interface and security IP solutions make mission-critical electronic systems faster and more secure, which is vital in meeting the needs of the complex microelectronics used in today’s aerospace hardware.

The Rambus portfolio of silicon IP looks to provide a one-stop-shop for high-speed interface and security IP. The 28G Multi-protocol LR SerDes PHY is designed with a system-oriented approach, taking the interface, interconnect and channel into account to optimise performance and increase flexibility for today’s most challenging system environments. The CryptoManager Root of Trust is a family of fully programmable secure co-processors that provide a foundation for system security anchored in hardware and protect against a wide range of attacks with anti-tamper security techniques.
