Switch Fabrics
AMCC's switch fabric roadmap covers 5Gbps to 640Gbps, and consists of its market-leading PRS switch fabric family, in its sixth generation of devices.

	AMCC's S19252 provides the features, integration, and functions we require for Optium's new small form factor tunable product," said Tom Williams, Director of Product Line Management for Optium Corporation. "AMCC's S19252 empowers Optium to deliver cost-effective SFF MSA compliant products with high performance and high availability.

	Tehuti Networks is extremely pleased to expand its long-standing relationship with AMCC through our SFP+ adapter offerings," said Blaine Kohl, vice president of marketing, Tehuti Networks. "These adapters provide customers the flexibility of selecting an optics module that best meets the target application while offering space and power savings over XFP adapters.

	The 10GbE PHY is a critical component in our new high density switching platform, therefore we had very strict selection guidelines," noted Mike Yang, General Manager and Vice President of Quanta Computer, Inc. "AMCC met all of these requirements with their understanding of the high density system challenges, the performance of the chip and their turnkey solution. They were big differentiators in helping us meet our overall project cost, scheduling and performance guidelines.

	Customers today are focused on achieving higher performance at lower power levels in ever-smaller form factors," said Rick Maule, CEO and president, NetEffect. "The SFP+ adapter is the most recent addition to our family of 10Gb accelerated Ethernet adapters, all of which have demonstrated an ability to meet the most stringent data center requirements for networking, storage and clustering. The AMCC QT2025 was a natural choice to make this form factor possible.

	The PEMAQUID demonstration will involve the encapsulation of a 10GbE data stream into an OTU2 frame and the error free transmission of the OTU2 signal over a length of Single Mode Fiber. The demonstration will highlight PEMAQUID’s cost, power, and space effectiveness in Ethernet to OTN convergence.
	The QT2025 and QT2225 demonstration shows the products in multiple applications, all targeted to enable seamless upgrade of existing equipment to 10GbE data rates. This includes transmitting serial 10Gbps data over 15m of SFP+ passive twinax cable for cost-effective data center connectivity, showcasing the EDC capability in 10GBASE-LRM application, and transmitting live video signals at 10Gbps rates over backplane in 10GBASE-KR application.
	The Drava demonstration will involve the aggregation of multiple OC-3 and OC-12 signals into an OC-48 signal and the error free transmission of the OC-48 signal over a length of Single Mode Fiber. The demonstration will highlight Drava’s cost, power and space savings due to its high level of integration of OC-3/12/48 SONET/SDH compliant PHYs with its Framer/ Pointer Processor functions.
	The S4882 demonstration will showcase device’s auto frequency acquisition capability together with its continuous rate support from 10Mbps to 4.25Gbps. This device is truly a “one-part-fits-all” CDR/PHY solution for applications ranging from SONET/SDH, Ethernet and Fiber Channel to Digital Video and more.

Optium selects AMCC's transceiver for use in tunable SFF transponder

FEBRUARY 19, 2008 -- Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (search for AMCC) today announced that Optium Corp. (search for Optium) has selected AMCC's S19252 Transceiver for its new small form factor (SFF) Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) tunable transponder.

The AMCC S19252 is a SONET/SDH/10-Gigabit Ethernet (10-GbE) and 10G Fibre Channel EDC-based transceiver with a 10-Gbit/sec clock output. The S19252 device provides fully integrated serialization/de-serialization (SerDes) capabilities for low-power intermediate and long reach 10-Gbit/sec applications, says the company. The device performs all necessary parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel functions in conformance with SONET/SDH and 10-GbE transmission standards. The S19252 is compliant to the 300-pin MSA standard for 10G transponders; the OIF SFI4 Phase 1 Parallel Electrical Interface standard; IEEE Draft P802.3ae; and the XFP MSA standard. AMCC says the S19252 provides a number of built in test features such as numerous pattern generators, checkers, and bit error rate counters that allow customers to provide BERT-like functionality.
