AMCC Introduces the Industry's First 12.5 Gbps Silicon Germanium Integrated Transimpedance Amplifier and Automatic Gain Control Amplifier for DWDM Links.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers 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)--Nov. 20, 2000 AMCC's S3095 Offers Customers a Flexible, High-Performance Single Integrated Design Solution for SONET OC-192 Applications 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 S3095, the industry's first silicon germanium (SiGe) integrated 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. ) and automatic gain control (AGC AGC Automatic Gain Control AGC Automotive Glass Cartridge (fuse) AGC Associated General Contractors AGC Associated General Contractors of America AGC Atypical Glandular Cells AGC Attorney-General's Chambers ) amplifier, which operates up to 12.5 Gbps. An ideal solution for use in OC-192 SONET/SDH-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 ) and time division multiplexing (communications) time division multiplexing - (TDM) A type of multiplexing where two or more channels of information are transmitted over the same link by allocating a different time interval ("slot" or "slice") for the transmission of each channel. I.e. (TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. ) applications, the S3095 boasts the industry's widest AGC dynamic range of 28dB. The linear output provides added flexibility for the S3095's deployment in a wider range of systems and enables decision threshold adjustment for use in DWDM links. The S3095 interfaces seamlessly to AMCC's S3092 demux device, providing ease of manufacturing, enhanced compatibility and optimum receive channel performance. "As the demand for bandwidth continues to explode, 10 Gbps DWDM systems are increasing their carrying capacity carrying capacity the number of animal units that a farm or area will carry on a year round basis, including that needed for conservation of winter feed. Usually stated as dry cows or dry sheep equivalents per hectare. via enhanced forward correcting codes," said Ken Prentiss, AMCC's director of marketing for telecom products. "The S3095 is specifically designed to meet the needs of these latest generation systems." The device offers up to 4K Ohms of transimpedance, the highest gain offered in one integrated device for OC-192 applications. Reducing the overall external component count, the S3095 features low input noise and less than 900mW of power dissipation. This set of features provides an unparalleled combination of high bandwidth, flexibility and dual-application usage. Available in die form, the S3095 also includes an adjustable output DC offset, in order to provide adjustable decision threshold at the input stage of the S3092 demux device. "The S3095's 10GHz of bandwidth makes it suitable for high-speed operation and allows customers to build a single, cost-effective receiver sub-module for use in both FEC See forward error correction. FEC - Forward Error Correction and non-FEC applications," said Arun Kumar, AMCC's product marketing manager. "AMCC delivers yet another industry first, this time with a single chip that provides a flexible TIA and AGC integrated solution for the DWDM and TDM markets." Pricing and Availability The S3095 is currently sampling to development partners, with volume production commencing in early 2001. AMCC solution set pricing can be obtained from the company by calling 800/755-AMCC (800/755-2622).
