IDT has developed an FPGA-based prototype technology that demonstrates the interworking of the common switch interface (CSIX) datapath protocol into ASI.

To further the development of Advanced Switching Interconnect (ASI)-based systems, IDT has developed an FPGA-based prototype technology that demonstrates the interworking of the common switch interface (CSIX) datapath protocol into ASI This prototype technology, which uses the Generic Data Transport protocol interface, or PI-2, specified by the ASI special interest group (SIG), will enable customers to develop early prototype systems based on ASI with a seamless migration to production platforms

Applications targeted are up to 10Gbit/s line-card subsystems in full carrier-class communications platforms such as multiservice access routers and broadband remote access servers.

The IDT prototype technology will be delivered in a mezzanine card for use in ATCA-based carrier boards or in an FPGA bit stream format for customer specific subsystems designs.

As part of the IDT strategy for supporting standards-based switching solutions, IDT may leverage this technology as the basis for subsequent offerings related to the connectivity and interworking of various endpoint devices, including NPUs, microprocessors, DSPs and CPUs.
