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 wireless chipset works in conjunction with digital signal processors (DSPs) and chip-rate processors (CRPs) from various vendors, enabling complete solutions for cellular baseband vendors.
Responding to the high-data throughput requirement facing next-generation cellular basestation designers, the 10G serial buffer delivers 10Gbit/s performance.
Offering 18Mbit of memory, which can be scaled to 90Mbit for optimum functionality, the 10G serial buffer also eliminates severe memory capacity and performance limitations, enabling the real-time execution of large consecutive data sample comparisons in next-generation basestation systems and other DSP-intensive applications.
With only 16 I/Os required, versus up to 100 for parallel processing, the IDT 10G serial buffer dramatically reduces the bill of materials as compared with the alternative approaches - an absolute necessity for the cost-effective delivery of value-added services in 3G and beyond.
The IDT 10G serial buffer provides intelligent monitoring and control circuitry that automatically identifies and compensates for dropped data samples to maintain data synchronicity - replacing a function that would normally need to be custom developed and external to the memory.
This function is vital for the performance and the quality of service essential to the delivery of value-added services that depend on high-datarate communications.
The 10G serial buffer is the most recent offering in the IDT ongoing commitment to provide leading-edge baseband solutions.
In addition to cellular basestations, IDT will target other DSP-intensive applications, such as medical imaging and high-speed communications applications, as well as radar, data-acquisition and sampling.
