PowerPC processor adds Fast Ethernet on chip
Based on the PowerPC 440 superscalar core, the low cost AMCC 440GR offers increased processor speed, memory performance and integrated dual Fast Ethernets.
The S19252 device provides fully integrated serialisation/deserialisation (serdes) capabilities for low power intermediate and long reach 10Gbit/s applications.
The device performs all necessary parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel functions in conformance with Sonet/SDH and 10GbE transmission standards.
The S19252 is compliant with the 300-pin MSA standard for 10G transponders, the OIF SFI4 Phase 1 Parallel Electrical Interface standard, IEEE Draft P802.3ae, and the XFP MSA standard.
The S19252 provides a number of built in test features such as numerous pattern generators, checkers, and bit error rate counters that allow customers to provide BERT like functionality.
"AMCC's S19252 provides the features, integration, and functions we require for Optium's new small form factor tunable product", says Tom Williams, Director of Product Line Management for Optium Corp.
"AMCC's S19252 empowers Optium to deliver cost-effective SFF MSA compliant products with high performance and high availability".
Optium's SFF tunable transponder provides enhanced network flexibility by enabling the upgrade of single channel applications often used in metro networks, while enabling customers that currently use large form factor tunable devices to achieve higher port density on their line cards without sacrificing performance.
Optium's SFF tunable transponder features full C-and L-band tunability and is available in both +/-800 and 1600ps/nm configurations.
The product can operate at up to 11.35Gbit/s and has a minimum extinction ratio of 12dB and low power dissipation.
"We are pleased to have been selected by Optium for their new advanced SFF MSA tunable transponder".
"Optium is clearly leading the tunable transponder market and the S19252 enables their new SFF MSA product to deliver unmatched performance and flexibility for their customers", says Neal Neslusan, Director of Marketing at AMCC.
"Customer wins of this nature validate the leadership position of AMCC's transport product line and the investments AMCC is making to develop the critical PHY technologies to enable cost effective solutions at 10G and beyond".
