Abstract

Summary form only given. This paper highlights key aspects of the cumulative technical experience of the past two years at Intel, Bangalore, in defining, designing, implementing and ramping to production of the Intel IXE2424 ASIC. The IXE2424 is a Layer 2-3-4 Network Switch/Router, consisting of over twenty-five million transistors, manufactured in 0.18 u 1P6M CMOS process. The team at Bangalore completed all steps of front end and backend design, taped out the product, debugged first silicon and finally taped out a production-worthy revision
