| Table 1. Modelware's AMPP-Approved Certified IP Cores (1) | |
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Single-Channel High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) | The nAccess HDLC-1 Foundation core implements the HDLC protocol functions for both receive and transmit directions for a single channel. |
| Multiple-Channel HDLC | The nAccess HDLC-4K Foundation core implements the HDLC protocol functions for both receive and transmit directions for up to 4,096 channels. |
| Inverse Multiplexing for ATM (IMA) Version 1.0/1.1 | The IMA megafunction provides modular bandwidth, using existing physical links (for example, DS1/E1, JT2, DS3/E3), to access ATM networks and to interconnect ATM network elements. |
| ATM Adaption Layer 5 (AAL5) | Modelware offers two modular products for AAL 5: Foundation and Manager. The AAL 5 Foundation core implements the Common Part of the AAL type 5, including the CPCS and the SAR in Streaming Mode. The AAL 5 Manager core includes the Foundation core and the memory management functions needed to support the AAL 5 Message Mode. |
| FlexBUS-3 Link Layer With FIFOs v1.0 | The FlexBUS-3 interface allows the interconnection of physical (PHY) layer devices to Link Layer devices in 2.5 Gbps ATM and POS applications. |
| SPI-4 Phase 1 With FIFOs v1.0 (FlexBUS-4) | The OIF SPI-4 Phase 1 core connects physical layer devices to link layer devices in 10 Gbps ATM, POS, and Ethernet applications. |
| SPI-4.2 Foundation & Manager | SPI-4.2 Foundation core interfaces to the Altera® atllvds_rx and altlvds_tx blocks that perform the electrical termination and convert between the 16-bit data + 1 control bit DDR bus and 64-bit data + 4 control bits at half of the interface clock frequency.SPI-4.2 Manager core interfaces on the user's side to multiple channels through multi-channel FIFO buffers. |
- AMPP: Altera Megafunction Partners Program. "AMPP Approved" indicates certified IP cores that meet Altera's sales standards and have passed rigorous engineering testing.
