Accelerating Ultra-High-Throughput Silicon

THE PROBLEM

The Scaling Bottleneck in Advanced CMOS

 

As advanced CMOS implementation become increasingly wire-dominated, performance is limited not by logic density but by:

  • Routing congestion

  • Wire-dominated delay

  • Memory bandwidth constraints

  • Data-movement overhead

In highly parallel compute engines, these factors limit clock frequency, increase power consumption, and restrict scalability. Conventional architectures struggle to sustain tens of Gbps throughput within strict power and area budgets.

 

 

 

THE SOLUTION

Routing-Aware Cross-Layer Co-Design

 

XCEL ASICs addresses these bottlenecks through tightly integrated cross-layer optimization that combines:

  • Algorithm development
  • Interconnect-aware architecture
  • Memory-access restructuring
  • Deep silicon implementation expertise

 

By co-optimizing algorithm, architecture, and implementation, we enable scalable ultra-high-throughput silicon optimized for performance, power, and area efficiency.

PRODUCTS

 

Our current portfolio includes high-performance forward error correction (FEC) IP cores engineered for advanced wireless communication systems. These implementations are developed using routing-aware architectures, cross-layer co-design, and deep physical implementation optimization techniques that extend to other ultra-high-throughput communication and compute systems. Recent innovations include:

 

  1. An ultra-high-throughput WiFi LDPC decoder — designed to meet next-gen connectivity demands,

  2. An area-efficient high-throughput LDPC decoder for 5G-NR with full standard compliance,

  3. A multi-Gbps LDPC decoder for WiGig (60 GHz) wireless systems, 

  4. An optimized 5G-NR polar decoder, engineered for performance and low latency.

XCEL ASICs is an official member of the Altera Solution Acceleration Partner (ASAP) program, enabling deeper collaboration and access to advanced FPGA platforms to accelerate innovation at scale.
