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.
"IDT's long history of software and system expertise has proven invaluable as we strive to deliver development tools that allow designers to meet their performance goals in the shortest time possible", said Alex Goldhammer, Product Manager for the IDT serial-switching division.
"Our new development kit enables designers to experience the full bandwidth of our switching solution to evaluate performance and create models of their end system within a chosen environment".
The new hardware evaluation board has been customised for product demonstrations, software development and initial system-performance benchmarking.
The board includes a x8 upstream connector that allows the addon card to be plugged into a standard PCI Express expansion slot on the designer's motherboard of choice.
In addition, the board includes two PCI Express expansion slots to enable interfacing with off-the-shelf components for robust system emulation.
