AMCC Introduces OC-48 Multi-Rate SONET/SDH And Gigabit Ethernet Performance Monitoring Solution for DWDM Applications.SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5, 1999-- The S3052 to be the First in a Series of Robust Multi-Rate Solutions Offering Substantially Reduced Power Consumption and Increased Functionality 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, today announced the S3052, a fully integrated multi-rate performance monitoring solution ideal for use in SONET/SDH and Gigabit Ethernet-based Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (spelling) wave division multiplexing - A common misnomer for wavelength division multiplexing. (DWDM (Dense WDM) The term given to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) when significantly more channels were being added. Since WDM is increasingly more "dense" all the time, both terms are used synonymously. See WDM. DWDM - wavelength division multiplexing ) applications. Fabricated in 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. and fully compliant with Bellcore, 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. and ITU-T See ITU. ITU-T - International Telecommunications Union specifications, the S3052 Performance Monitor chip is the first multi-rate SONET/SDH and Gigabit Ethernet monitoring solution in the industry. "The S3052 is the first in a family of solutions offering performance monitoring functionality," said Brent Little, AMCC's vice president of marketing. "Higher levels of integration are planned over the next few months, including a software and pin-compatible version - the S3062 -- with integrated programmable Forward Error Correction A communications technique that can correct bad data on the receiving end. Before transmission, the data are processed through an algorithm that adds extra bits for error correction. If the transmitted message is received in error, the correction bits are used to repair it. (FEC See forward error correction. FEC - Forward Error Correction )." The S3052 implements all necessary performance monitoring functions on the SONET/SDH transport overhead bytes at OC-3, OC-12 and OC-48. It also has a mode of operation permitting it to monitor a Gigabit Ethernet data stream for loss of synchronization, 8B/10B code violations and disparity errorits category on the market today," said Alan Sorgi, AMCC's application manager for telecom products. "In designing the S3052, we focused on substantially reducing power -- a powerful combination that AMCC's customerdata being received from the fiber and passed taction tac·tion n.

To ensure communications integrity, the S3052 terminates AMCC AMCC designs, develops, manufactures and markets high-performance, high-bandwidth silicon solutions for the world's communication infrastructure. The company utilizes a combination of high-frequency, mixed-signal design expertise and multiple silicon process technologies to offer IC products for the telecommunications market that address the SONET/SDH and ATM transmission standards and for the data communications markets that address the Gigabit Ethernet, ATM and Fibre Channel transmission standards. AMCC's core technologies also address ATE and high-speed computing needs. AMCC's corporate headquarters and wafer fabrication facilities are located in San Diego. Sales and consulting engineering offices are located throughout the world.
