AMCC Introduces New Serial Retimer Device That Enables Bandwidth Expansion Within High Performance Network Equipment.Business Editors NOTE TO MEDIA: Photo is available in a Smart News Release(TM) on Business Wire's Home Page at www.businesswire.com SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2000 The S2092 Offers Designers High Performance and Significantly Reduced Power in a Low Cost Solution 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 S2092 clock and data recovery device with 2.5 and 2.67 Gbps operation. An addition to the company's serial backplane family, the S2092 is ideal for short-haul connections that enable bandwidth expansion Bandwidth expansion is a technique for widening the bandwidth or the resonances in an LPC filter. This is done by moving all the poles towards the origin by a constant factor  . within network equipment such as wavelength routers. Featuring low power dissipation, 460 mW typical, from a single +3.3V power supply, and a compact 7mm X 7mm TQFP See QFP. package, the S2092 is optimized for high-density designs. "The S2092 is a key device in expanding the internal bandwidth of optical core network equipment," said Paul Duran, AMCC's product marketing manager for datacom products. "Combined with other robust AMCC products, such as the S2018 crosspoint, the S2092 offers a high performance/low cost solution for short-haul retiming in large optical switch applications. These high port count switches are typically implemented using multiple crosspoints and retimers in CLOS CLOS - Common LISP Object System 3-stage architectures." The S2092 utilizes on-chip high frequency Phase Lock Loop (PLL PLL - phase-locked loop ) consisting of a phase detector A phase detector is a frequency mixer or analog multiplier circuit that generates a voltage signal which represents the difference in phase between two signal inputs. It is an essential element of the phase-locked loop (PLL). , 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. ) and a loop filter for clock recovery. The phase detector compares the phase relationship between the VCO output and serial data input, as a loop filter converts the phase detector output into a smooth DC voltage. The VCO frequency is then varied by this DC voltage input. The S2092 incorporates a lock detect function in order to monitor the reliability of the serial data inputs. Featuring an internal 100(OMEGA) line-to-line termination on a high speed differential input, the device's capabilities derive high speed timing signals with a low-jitter serial CML 1.

The device, packaged in a compact 7 mm x 7 mm 48-pin TQFP/TEP, is priced at $29 in quantities of 1000.
