AMCC Delivers High Performance 10 Gbps CMOS Transceivers for the SONET and 10-Gigabit Ethernet Marketplace.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers NOTE TO MEDIA: A photo and diagram are available in a Smart News Release(TM) on Business Wire's Home Page at www.businesswire.com and at www.newstream.com SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 31, 2001 AMCC's S19206 and S19210 Transceivers Offer Industry-Leading Performance and Low Power Utilizing 0.13-Micron CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. Technology Applied Micro Circuits Corp. (AMCC AMCC Applied Micro Circuits Corporation AMCC Air Mobility Control Center AMCC Ashore Mobile Contingency Communications AMCC Advanced Materials Commercialization Center AMCC allied movement coordination center (US DoD) ) (Nasdaq:AMCC), a leader in high-bandwidth silicon connectivity solutions for the world's optical networks, today announced the S19206 and S19210 transceivers. Utilizing 0.13-micron CMOS technology, both devices meet or exceed the SONET jitter performance standards and provide exceptional performance for edge rates, signal integrity and input sensitivity. Designed for OC-192 SONET/SDH and proposed 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, the S19206 and S19210 can also be used in 200-pin MSA (Metropolitan Service Area) An urban area with at least 50,000 people plus surrounding counties. There are 306 MSAs and 428 RSAs (rural service areas) in the U.S. MSAs and RSAs are used to allocate cellular licenses. or 300-pin MSA-based transponders/optical modules. "The introduction of these third generation OC-192 devices demonstrates our long-term commitment to providing our customers with industry-leading, high-performance physical layer solutions," said Ken Prentiss, AMCC's director of marketing for telecom products. "Our OC-192 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet customers wanted lower power and cost without any degradation in performance. By meeting these requirements with AMCC's latest transceivers, we continue to build on our strength as the leading high-volume provider of 10 Gbps solutions." The S19206 device builds upon the advanced features of AMCC's industry-leading SiGe-based S3091/S3092 and S3097/S3098 transmitter/receiver chipsets, and now offers customers an exceptional combination of low power and high performance in a single device. Designed for SONET/SDH OC-192 and FEC See forward error correction. FEC - Forward Error Correction applications, the S19206 features a wide range of operation from 9.953 Gbps to 10.709 Gbps is packaged in a 255-pin ceramic BGA (Ball Grid Array) A popular surface mount chip package that uses a grid of solder balls as its connectors. Available in plastic and ceramic varieties, BGA is noted for its compact size, high lead count and low inductance, which allows lower voltages to be used. , and is interface compatible with OIF OIF Operation Iraqi Freedom OIF Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (French: International Organization of Francophonie) OIF Office for Intellectual Freedom (American Library Association) and Bellcore/ITU-T specifications. Offering a range of operation from 9.953 Gbps to 10.3125 Gbps, the low cost S19210 transceiver is packaged in an easy to use 255-pin plastic BGA and is ideally suited for SONET/SDH short-reach (SR) STS-192 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. It is interface compatible with OIF, Bellcore/ITU-T and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. standards. Building upon AMCC's commitment to being a complete solution provider, both the S19206 and S19210 transceivers provide a seamless integration path to AMCC's industry-leading framers including MEKONG SONET/SDH STS-192/STM-64 MUX/DEMUX MUX/DEMUX Multiplexer/Demultiplexer (telecommunications) with pointer processor; KHATANGA 10 Gigabit Ethernet MAC and PHY/OC-192c POS (1) See point of sale and packet over SONET. (2) "Parent over shoulder." See digispeak. POS - point of sale Framer and Mapper; GANGES STS-192 SONET/SDH Framer and POS/ATM Mapper; and HUDSON Digital Wrapper with FEC. In addition, the devices interface with AMCC's S3099 optoelectronic laser driver and S3390 transimpedance amplifier (TIA (1) (Telecommunications Industry Association, Arlington, VA, www.tiaonline.org) A membership organization founded in 1988 that sets telecommunications standards worldwide. It was originally an EIA working group that was spun off and merged with the U.S. ). The S3390 can drive the S19206 or S19210 transceivers without the need for an external post amplifier. The system timing circuitry of both chips is designed with AMCC's proven high-frequency Phase Locked Loop (PLL PLL - phase-locked loop ) technology, consisting of a phase/frequency detector (PFD PFD abbr. personal flotation device ), a loop filter and a voltage controlled oscillator oscillator Mechanical or electronic device that produces a back-and-forth periodic motion. A pendulum is a simple mechanical oscillator that swings with a constant amplitude, requiring the addition of energy at each swing only to compensate for the energy lost because of air (VCO (1) (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) An oscillator that can be tuned over a wide range of frequencies by applying a voltage (tuning voltage) to it. Used in many applications such as radio tuners, VCOs are less costly than crystal oscillators, but not as stable. ). The on-chip clock synthesis PLL components allow for the use of a slower external transmit clock reference. The devices can be used with 155.52 or 622.08 MHz reference clocks, in support of existing system clocking schemes. In addition, the transceivers contain a lock detect circuit which monitors the integrity of the serial data inputs. If the received serial data fails the frequency test, the PLL will be forced to lock to the local reference clock. This will maintain the correct frequency of the recovered clock output under loss of signal or loss of conditions. Availability Both devices will be sampling in October with volume production scheduled for Q1. The S19206 is packaged in a 255-pin ceramic BGA and the S19210 is packaged in a low-cost 255-pin plastic BGA.
