Cypress Semiconductor Corporation’s (Cypress’s) network database coprocessor (NDC) performs the following three primary
functions.
There are two ways to build the NDC system.
The NDC runs up to 100 MHz. At that speed and running with a 64-bit bus interface, the NDC performs at a peak rate of 33 million
searches on 68-bit entries, 25 million searches on 136-bit entries, and 16.67 million searches on 272-bit entries. At 100-MHz
speed and running with a 32-bit bus interface, the NDC performs at a peak rate of 25 million searches on 68-bit entries,
16.67 million searches on 136-bit entries, and 10 million searches on 272-bit entries.
The NDC supports centralized, multiple layer, multiwidth tables in order to provide cost effective search solutions for Ethernet,
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), and Sonet-based switches and routing systems. It supports the following advanced capabil-
ities: quality of service (QoS), class of service (CoS), virtual private network (VPN), packet and flow classification, and security.

search operation. This type of implementation is suited to applications where the associative data size is up to eight bytes.
The network processor uses this index to access SSRAMs in order to get the required results. The SSRAMs containing the
associative data are connected directly to the network processor’s SSRAM bus. This is suitable for applications where the
associative data size is longer than eight bytes.
