AMCC Provides Unparalleled Combination of Jitter Performance, Input Sensitivity and Low Power for Metro DWDM Applications With Continuous Rate CDR Device.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers NOTE TO MEDIA: Photo/Logo is available in a Smart News Release(TM) on Business Wire's Home Page at www.busineswire.com SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 22, 2001 Requiring No External Reference Clock for Any Supported Data Rate, the S3086 Device Reduces Overall Board Space, Cost and Time-To-Market 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 NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :AMCC), a leader in high-bandwidth silicon connectivity solutions for the world's optical networks, today announced the S3086, a 30 Mbps to 2.7 Gbps continuous rate clock and data recovery unit (CDR (1) See CD-R and extension. (2) (Call Detail Reporting) See call accounting. (3) (Common Data Rate) A standard sampling rate for digital video for 480i and 576i systems. The rate is 13.5 MHz. See ITU-R BT. ). The S3086 features unmatched jitter performance capabilities including jitter generation of .004UI, jitter tolerance of .8UI and jitter transfer that peaks at less than .05dB. The device also offers an enhanced input sensitivity of 10 mV and typical power of only 825 mW. The S3086 operates at a continuous rate range between 30 Mbps and 2.7 Gbps and is fully compliant with Bellcore and ITU-T See ITU. ITU-T - International Telecommunications Union industry specifications for jitter performance. The device provides features that make it compatible with virtually any data source, including SONET, Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet and High Definition Television/Digital Television (HDTV/DTV) applications. The S3086 can be used as either a stand-alone product or in conjunction with AMCC's S3062 FEC See forward error correction. FEC - Forward Error Correction performance monitor and S3067 FEC transceiver solutions to create a complete 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 multi-rate performance monitor/FEC application. The device has also been architected to maintain signal compatibility and provide an easy migration path for users of AMCC's S3056 and S3076 CDRs. "The jitter performance, input sensitivity and low power of the S3086 provide customers with the industry's best design margin and flexibility for a continuous rate CDR solution. The device also significantly reduces board space, cost and time-to-market by eliminating the need for a reference clock," said Ken Prentiss, AMCC's director of marketing for telecom products. "The S3086 further builds on AMCC's system solution approach and offers customers an easy to implement, feature-rich, high-performance CDR for both existing and future metro optical networks." The S3086's enhanced input sensitivity of 10mV enables the device to function without the need for an external post amplifier, creating additional cost and space savings for integrated optical module manufacturers. The +3.3V device offers programmable Loss-of-Signal (LOS) detection and LVPECL LVPECL Low Voltage Positive Emitter Coupled Logic and LVTTL LVTTL Low Voltage Transistor Transistor Logic (AMCC) LVTTL Low Voltage Transistor to Transistor Logic programmable signal detect inputs. The LVPECL and LVTTL inputs can be used with optical modules that are either active low or active high for loss of light. The S3086 incorporates AMCC's proven Phase Locked Loop (PLL PLL - phase-locked loop ) technology, consisting of a phase detector, 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 continuous rate CDR also includes a lock detect circuit which monitors the integrity of the incoming serial data. Pricing and Availability The S3086, packaged in a compact 48-pin TQFP/TEP, is currently sampling to development partners with volume production commencing next quarter. The S3086 is priced at $44 in quantities of 100,000. Additional pricing can be obtained from the company by calling 800/755-AMCC (800/755-2622).
