IDT joins Texas in crossbar low-voltage logic
IDT and Texas Instruments have entered a co-operative agreement to become alternate supply sources of 3.3V crossbar low-voltage technology (CBTLV) bus switch devices.
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.
More specifically, the new IDT CV115C is the only product on the market to offer independent clocking for PCI Express, making it an appropriate fit for next-generation desktop PC platforms.
In addition to independent clocking for PCI Express, the IDT CV115C PC clock also offers independent clocking of CPU, SATA (Serial ATA) and USB interfaces, allowing each clock to be individually optimised within the system, resulting in superior performance.
A new VDD-suspend pin allows programming to be maintained in power-down mode, with power consumption less than 1mA.
The IDT CV115C architecture also incorporates programming that enables a linearly scalable frequency adjustment as opposed to the commonly used discrete stepping approach, allowing enthusiasts the ability to fine-tune their system for better performance.
In addition, with independent spread-spectrum control (SSC), each of the three SSC-capable PLLs within the device can be programmed independently to reduce EMI within the system.
"IDT has delivered a four PLL-based PC clock, offering features and benefits that complement the performance requirements of our next-generation Intel Desktop Boards", said Mark Shipman, Director, Intel Desktop Board Operations.
"We are pleased to provide this new capability to our customers".
IDT also unveiled a suite of three-PLL-based PC clocks (CV110J, CV123B) that are also targeted at the next-generation desktop PC market.
