Avago Technologies Provides Critical IP to Enable Juniper Networks' Development of High-Performance Silicon.Industry Leading Multi-Gigabit SerDes IP Enables Juniper's Terabit MX-3D Products SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. & SINGAPORE -- Avago Technologies Avago Technologies is an American company which was earlier the semiconductor products division of HP and later Agilent Technologies, before being spun off into a distinct legal entity. It holds more than 2,000 patents. (Nasdaq:AVGO), a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial, and consumer applications, today announced that it provided critical IP to Juniper Networks Juniper Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: JNPR) is an information technology company based in Sunnyvale, California and founded in 1996. The company designs and sells Internet Protocol network products and services. to enable the development of the company's high-performance silicon devices. These new Juniper designs are part of the Junos[R] Trio chipset that enables the delivery of Juniper's MX-3D platforms. Each device features close to 100 SerDes channels and is capable of driving a lossy See lossy compression. (algorithm) lossy - A term describing a data compression algorithm which actually reduces the amount of information in the data, rather than just the number of bits used to represent that information. backplane channel and multiple backplane connectors. In addition to exhibiting 'best-in-class' crosstalk and jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle performance, Avago's unique decision feedback equalization In communications, techniques used to reduce distortion and compensate for signal loss (attenuation) over long distances. (DFE DFE Design For the Environment DFE Digital Front End DFE Decision Feedback Equalization DFE Decision Feedback Equalizer DFE Department For Education (UK) DFE Dietary Folate Equivalent ) and modular architectures enable high-density, low-power solutions, which are critical in today's demanding applications. "Avago's multi-gigabit SerDes cores meet our stringent performance requirements," said R.K. Anand, executive vice president of Foundation Technologies at Juniper Networks. "Cutting edge IP from Avago for SerDes and high-speed 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 are essential technologies that enable us to deliver compelling and innovative solutions in silicon for our customers." "We are committed to providing solutions that meet our customers' growing requirements for speed, density, power, and execution," said Frank Ostojic, vice president and general manager of Avago's ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. Products Division. "We are delighted that Juniper has chosen Avago to engage so closely on such breakthrough projects that enable us to showcase our embedded SerDes leadership within the industry and meet Juniper's needs of unprecedented performance and scale for their new product." Over two years ago, Avago introduced working 65nm SerDes silicon and was the first to demonstrate 20 Gbps performance in 40nm. With over three decades of experience, Avago has established a consistent record of first-pass success in the design and manufacture of complex silicon solutions. With use of state-of-the-art hierarchical design methodology and an extensive IP portfolio, Avago has maintained a solid reputation for delivering high performance silicon that meet the needs of designers developing next generation networking Next Generation Networking (NGN) is a broad term to describe some key architectural evolutions in telecommunication core and access networks that will be deployed over the next 5-10 years. , storage, and computing applications.
