Virtual Silicon Technology, Inc. today announced that Daniel Sakols, an independent SoC designer, was the first winner of the Virtual Silicon "Challenge our DFS" contest. The contest, announced in June of 2005, challenged ASIC designers to review the capabilities of the Virtual Silicon Mobilize(TM) Digital Frequency Synthesizer PLL for their design and submit a review of its suitability. Prizes include 20GB iPODs, iPOD Shuffles and even a license to use the Virtual Silicon DFS in a design. Mr. Sakols evaluated the DFS PLL for use as the conversion clock in an audio application.
"The Virtual Silicon DFS PLL was great fun to evaluate. It is highly flexible making it suitable for many applications," Sakols said.
The Virtual Silicon "Challenge our DFS" contest runs through October 2005. For more information, please visit Virtual Silicon at www.virtual-silicon.com/challenge_our_dfs.cfm.
