DSP-based transceivers drive faster over copper
A novel line of high-speed physical-layer transceivers uses DSP techniques to eliminate signal integrity problems associated with 5 and 10Gbit/s data transmission over backplanes and copper media.
Serdes chips speed through legacy backplane test
Analogix Semiconductor has completed testing its 6.25Gbit/s serdes chips using Tyco Electronics' HM-Zd legacy backplane system.
The Silicon Valley-based company also has a development team in Beijing, China.
Huawei-3Com plans to incorporate Analogix's D-PHY family of 5 and 10Gbit/s physical-layer transceivers (serdes) ICs into switch and router products now under development.
The D-PHY family, which includes both backplane and system-to-system serial interconnect products, uses advanced digital signal processing (DSP) techniques to eliminate the signal integrity problems that characterise high-speed data transmission over copper media.
Henry Tso, Huawei-3Com's Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of Research and Development, said: "Like most system vendors, we are always trying to improve performance and drive down system costs.
The Analogix products' unique combination of advanced analogue and DSP signal-conditioning capabilities, plus a built-in compatibility with legacy materials and line cards, makes them ideal for both system upgrades and cost-effective new designs.
And their Beijing- based engineering team will foster excellent communication and local support as we deploy the products in our systems".
Kewei Yang, CEO of Analogix, said: "We look forward to a close working relationship with Huawei-3Com that will benefit us through a give-and-take of ideas as we bring our initial products to market.
Through Huawei-3Com, Analogix will gain early entry into the high-growth Asian networking market, which has seen virtually no impact from the economic downturn".
