IP coprocessors provide flexible search width
IDT has released its first commercially available Internet protocol coprocessor product portfolio that enables up to OC-768 wire speed to support ever-increasing packet processing requirements.
The company plans to provide selected "green" products in volume production in the first half of 2004.
IDT is committed to continual improvement of its protection of the environment throughout the entire process of manufacturing and marketing integrated circuits to the world.
Specifically, the company is focused on delivering the following components compliant with the green products initiative: package terminals and BGA solder balls with lead (Pb) limits less than 1000ppm; package materials with chlorine and bromine (Cl + Br) less than 900ppm, and antimony (Sb) less than 740ppm; and packages able to withstand board mount reflow profiles with 260C maximum peak temperatures and maintain current JEDEC moisture resistance level and reliability.
The company's primary focus is on the improvement of environmental management performance associated with on-site manufacturing operations.
IDT will then expand its efforts to address environmental performance issues primarily associated with off-site activities that it can control or influence (including product use and end of life management).
