Intellon selects mixed-signal IP from S3 for HomePlug chipset

TORONTO, CANADA: Silicon & Software Systems Ltd (S3), a world leading provider of mixed-signal semiconductor IP solutions, today announced that Intellon Corp., a leader in powerline communications technology, has licensed S3's mixed signal IP for the INT6400, their third-generation HomePlug AV open-standard-based MAC/PHY/AFE Powerline Communications (PLC) transceiver Integrated Circuit (IC).

"We were able to enter volume production rapidly and achieved first-time-right silicon for a best-in-class performance product,” said Keith Riley, Vice President of Engineering at Intellon. “The key benefits of engaging with S3 were their ability to deliver high performance data converter IP on time against a tight schedule, and crucially first-time-right".

Commenting on S3's success at Intellon, Mike Murray, General Manager for Mixed Signal IP at S3, said "We are very pleased to have accelerated the time-to-market of Intellon's HomePlug AV IC by means of the successful deployment of our leading edge 65nm mixed signal IP and we look forward to extending our working relationship further."
