Small World Communications

Small World Communications has been a prominent figure in the semiconductor industry since its inception in January 1997. Based in Adelaide, Australia, the company focuses on designing and developing specialized error control decoder and encoder cores. These products are crafted for use in field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) and application specific integrated circuits (ASIC), harnessing the power of advanced communication systems. With a background that includes developing numerous cutting-edge error control decoders from 1986 to 1996, the company has solidified its place as an expert in communication technology. One of the unique strengths of Small World Communications lies in their ability to integrate various communication systems into a single chip. The growing popularity of field programmable gate arrays, which now boast exponentially increasing gate counts, has allowed them to enhance their offerings significantly. Their expertise is particularly notable in enhancing error control decoders, effectively providing the necessary building blocks for next-generation communication solutions. Understanding the needs of modern technology, Small World Communications offers their products in two main formats - VHDL core and EDIF core - which can be utilized in FPGA designs with compatibility for Xilinx ISE and Vivado. The company's keen focus on licensing flexibility ensures that their bespoke solutions are widely accessible, catering to a range of industry demands by allowing unlimited core instantiations under their licensing arrangements.
