SNOW-IP-46 3GPP SNOW 3G Accelerators

The SNOW-IP-46 (EIP-46) cipher accelerators implement the specification of the 3GPP Confidentiality and Integrity Algorithms as specified by 3GPP and ETSI. Designed for fast integration, low gate count and full transforms, the SNOW-IP-46 accelerator provides a reliable and cost-effective embedded IP solution that is easy to integrate into high speed SoCs for base stations or other equipment requiring 3GPP support.

3GPP Snow 3G family of accelerators.

Available in three configurations / performance grades.

Targeting Base Station designs.

How the SNOW-IP-46 3GPP SNOW 3G Accelerators work

The SNOW-IP-46 is a family of the cryptographic library elements in the Rambus hardware IP library (formerly of Inside Secure). For example, the SNOW-IP-46 is the cipher core embedded in some PacketEngine-IP-97/196/197 protocol aware security engines. The accelerators include I/O registers, encryption and decryption cores, and the logic for feedback modes and key scheduling.

Sustained performance for any object sizes ranges from 4 to 30 Gbps depending on the configuration, area and frequency. Gate count is 20K to 40K gates depending on the configuration. Supported modes: UEA2, UIA2, 128-EEA1 and 128-EIA1

Rambus also offers accelerators for the other 3GPP algorithms.
