Integrated reference design combines Sequans' new SQN2130 basestation ASIC with PMC-Sierra's new PM8800 WiZIRD 2Tx/2Rx RF IC.
Together with the SPECTRA and the OCTLIU, the TEMUX family supports line rates ranging from T1/E1, channelised DS3, OC-3, OC-12 to OC-48.
The TECT3 integrates 28 T1/J1 framers, 21 E1 framers and a DS3 framer/multiplexer in a single device.
This enables a high density DS-3 copper interface solution that supports the global requirements for framing and multiplexing different tributary formats into a DS3 signal.
DS3 is one of the most popular physical interfaces used to connect add/drop multiplexers, digital cross-connects, multi service switches and IP routers.
As business users' demand for higher bandwidth increases, channelised DS3 is also gaining popularity as a replacement for T1/E1 leased line services.
"PMC-Sierra continues to invest in high density architectural solutions to bridge copper and optical networks", said Tom Sun, vice president and general manager of PMC-Sierra's Access Products Division.
"Keeping a consistent architecture across PMC- Sierra's popular TEMUX family allows our customers to specialise their equipment while retaining full software reuse across designs", concluded Sun.
The TECT3 is pinout and software compatible with PMC-Sierra's TEMUX and TEMAP products.
The TECT3 is packaged in a 23 x 23mm, 324 PBGA and rated for industrial temperature range operation (-40 to +85C).
The TECT3 is is available now through distribution.
A comprehensive support package including datasheets, software drivers, and technical overviews is available on PMC-Sierra's website.
