AMCC and Tyco Electronics Demonstrate Interoperability of OIF-Standard Short and Long Reach Common Electrical I/Os at SuperComm 2003.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SUPERCOMM 2003 SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 2, 2003 Applied Micro Circuits Corp. (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 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) ) Best-in-Class Transceivers and Backplanes Serve as Critical Components of Standards-Compliant OIF OIF Operation Iraqi Freedom OIF Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (French: International Organization of Francophonie) OIF Office for Intellectual Freedom (American Library Association) Common Electrical I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output (CEI CEI Competitive Enterprise Institute CEI Conferenza Episcopale Italiana (Italian bishop conference) CEI Central European Initiative CEI Comitato Elettrotecnico Italiano (Italian Electrotechnical Committee) ) Interfaces, Enabling the Development of Chip-to-Chip, Chip-to-Optical Module and Electrical Backplane Designs Applied Micro Circuits Corp. (AMCC) (NASDAQ:AMCC) and Tyco Electronics, along with another participating OIF member, today successfully demonstrated the feasibility of the Optical Internetworking Forum's (OIF) Common Electrical I/O (CEI) Project. The demonstration included Short Reach (SR) and Long Reach (LR) links and also showed interoperability between the two types of I/Os. The demonstration will be exhibited at the OIF_PLL PLL - phase-locked loop Interoperability booth this week at SuperComm 2003 in Atlanta, GA, OIF Booth #10205, Hall C. For a block diagram visit www.amcc.com/AMCC/TycoInterop. AMCC will showcase OIF CEI SR feasibility using AMCC's S19211 OC-192 16-bit 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. transceiver working in conjunction with a backplane equalizer device. This device then demonstrates CEI LR feasibility by running 10 Gb/s serial data across a 34-inch channel on the Tyco Electronics HM-Zd QuadRoute backplane. This backplane is based on a high performance FR4 and uses standard through-hole technology with no techniques, such as counterboring. "By demonstrating both the feasibility and interoperability of CEI Short Reach and Long Reach OIF interface standards, AMCC and Tyco Electronics offer customers a viable, standards-based solution and a significant advantage in building an enhanced network," said John LoMedico, vice president of marketing for AMCC. "This CEI feasibility demonstration is significant in many aspects, from feasibility proof of CEI SR and CEI LR to the interoperability of the two," said John D'Ambrosia, manager, semiconductor relations for Tyco Electronics. "AMCC and Tyco Electronics are moving forward together to provide their customers with performance that is real and attainable." OIF's PLL Interoperability Demonstration The Optical Internetworking Forum The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) was organized to facilitate and accelerate the development of next-generation optical internetworking products. The OIF produces Electrical, Tunable Laser, Very Short Reach Hardware Interfaces. (OIF) will be sponsoring the Physical and Link Layer (PLL) Interoperability Demonstration at SUPERCOMM 2003 in booth #10205, Hall C. The live SUPERDemo will feature a visual representation of dynamic N-way interoperability of the SPI-4.2 Implementation Agreement (IA), SFI-4 IA and the tunable laser IA among OIF member companies. The OIF will also be introducing its new project, CEI, with demonstrations of electrical interfaces with signaling rates of 6+ and 11+ GBaud for chip-to-chip, chip-to-optical module and electrical backplane applications. OIF is a growing non-profit organization with 250+ member companies to date, including many of the world's leading carriers, component and system vendors. The purpose of the OIF is to accelerate the deployment of interoperable, cost effective, and robust optical internetworks and their associated technologies.
