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.
The devices enable the cost-effective development of new systems by simplifying board layout, reducing system design and manufacturing cost, thus speeding time to market.
The four new PCIe Gen2 switching solutions - a 24-lane six-port device (89PES24T6G2); a 24-lane three-port device (89PES24T3G2); a six-lane six-port device (89PES6T6G2); and a four-lane four-port device (89PES4T4G2) extend the company's existing portfolio of PCIe Gen2 solutions, the broadest in the industry.
Each of the new devices is available in a 19mm flip-chip BGA package with 1mm ball spacing.
The IDT Gen2 PCIe switches are fully compliant with the PCI-SIG PCIe base specification 2.0 and provide customers the option of doubling the throughput bandwidth of existing PCIe lanes to 5Gbit/s of data transfer for cutting edge designs or allowing a 50% reduction in the number of PCIe lanes and board traces necessary to support link throughput requirements for a more cost effective design.
The newest IDT PCIe switches deliver the industry's best performance-per-watt, demonstrating the IDT corporate initiative to provide devices that are "power smart" by incorporating advanced features to minimise power consumption, maximise performance-per-watt and reduce total cost of ownership and thermal design complexity.
These new additions to the industry's broadest portfolio of PCIe Gen2 solutions reduce time to market and reduce system validation testing by using the proven IDT switch and interface technology.
Each of the IDT PCIe switching solutions has a dedicated evaluation and development kit for device testing and analysis, and system emulation.
IDT also provides customers with extensive, collaborative technical support including system modelling and signal integrity analyses, and schematic and layout review services.
