AMCC to Premiere New Dual Clock Data Recovery Device for XFP Applications and Demonstrate Interoperability within 10G CEI-Compliant Backplane Solution.

WHAT:         AMCC will showcase two separate demonstrations featuring
              technology-proven devices within the company's solution
              portfolio.

              Demonstration I

              The first demonstration will feature a complete
              framing/mapping solution enabling 2.5G and 10G Forward
              Error Correction (FEC) encoded links. AMCC's
              industry-leading Rubicon GFEC/EFEC solution will
              interface with several AMCC SerDes offerings and XFP
              modules, enabling system jitter performance better than
              80mUI(PP). The demonstration will also premiere the
              S19233, AMCC's first Dual CDR for XFP-based
              applications. This proven technology will provide
              customers with greater design flexibility and create a
              cost-efficient opportunity for leverage existing systems
              for a variety of applications.

              Demonstration II

              AMCC will also demonstrate the electrical
              interoperability of its S19233 10G Dual CDR with Xilinx
              FPGA 10G I/Os over different extended length backplanes
              from Molex, Interconnect Technologies - Northrop Grumman
              and Tyco. This interoperability is part of a larger,
              CEI-compliant backplane solution enabling from 8 to 49
              inches of transmission lines at 6G and 11G, which was
              recently announced by the Optical Internetworking Forum
              (OIF). Transmission of 10G signals to and from high-end
              backplanes into AMCC's S19233 proves the device's
              ability to achieve extended-length distances and
              interface seamlessly with other solutions.
