AMCC Sets New Standard in Performance With EYEMAX Technology, Reducing Optical Component Costs for Customers.Business Editors and 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 and at www.newstream.com SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 2002 AMCC's Proprietary Error Correction Algorithm and Dispersion Compensation Deliver Best-in-Class Performance, Enabling Longer Reach Capabilities With Outstanding Reductions in Overall Applications Costs Industry leader 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) today announced the introduction of EYEMAX(TM) technology, a proprietary combination of AMCC's enhanced 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. (EFEC EFEC Enhanced Forward Error Correction ) and dispersion compensation intellectual property. The first generation of the EYEMAX(TM) technology is implemented in a combination of the Niagara (S19208) EFEC mapper and AMCC's SuperPHY(TM) family of physical layer products. This generation is targeted at 10Gbps Metro transport and Long Reach Markets and enables customers to significantly reduce the optical component costs typically associated with this level of transmission performance. "We are really excited about the benefits this breakthrough technology can bring to our customers in a broad range of applications," said Doug Spreng, AMCC's president and chief operating officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president. . "By combining AMCC's expertise in VLSI VLSI: see integrated circuit. (1) (Very Large Scale Integration) Between 100,000 and one million transistors on a chip. See SSI, MSI, LSI and ULSI. (2) (VLSI Technology, Inc., Tempe, AZ, www.semiconductors. digital signal processing See DSP. Digital Signal Processing - (DSP) Computer manipulation of analog signals (commonly sound or image) which have been converted to digital form (sampled). , protocol monitoring, analog processing, and applications knowledge, we have produced an off the shelf solution that can significantly enhance the transmission capabilities of our customers systems, thereby enabling much lower cost approaches." The Niagara (S19208) EFEC mapper is an industry leader in performance at 10.7GHz operation. In addition to the superb FEC See forward error correction. FEC - Forward Error Correction performance in the Niagara, the chip also offers an extremely comprehensive set of performance monitoring capabilities. Like the Hudson FEC device before it, the Niagara is compliant to the G.709 ITU (International Telecommunication Union, Geneva, Switzerland, www.itu.ch) A telecommunications standards body that is under the auspices of the United Nations. Comprising more than 185 member countries, the ITU sets standards for global telecom networks. standard, and provides G.709 client capabilities in addition to G.709 transport capabilities. In conjunction with Niagara, AMCC's SuperPHY physical layer devices provide exceptional error correcting techniques including AMCC's proprietary dispersion compensation design. These SuperPHY devices also provide exceptional performance including jitter, edge rates, input sensitivity, output swings, and bandwidth.
