Cypress's HOTLink II PHYs Meet CPRI Radio Control Link Specification.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. -- Backplane PHY See physical layer and physical. Transceivers Address Key Internal Interface of Radio Basestations Between the Radio Equipment Control and the Radio Equipment Cypress Semiconductor Cypress Semiconductor is a semiconductor design and manufacturing company. It began operations in 1982 and listed publicly in 1986. Two years later, the company shifted over to the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol, (NYSE: CY). Corp. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY) today announced that its industry-leading HOTLink hotlink - A mechanism for sharing data between two application programs where changes to the data made by one application appear instantly in the other's copy. Under System 7 on the Macintosh the users establishes a hotlink by doing a "Create Publisher" on the server and II(TM) physical layer (PHY) family meets the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI CPRI Common Public Radio Interface CPRI Computer-based Patient Record Institute CPRI Central Power Research Institute (India) CPRI Central Potato Research Institute (India) ) specification version 1.2. CPRI focuses on a 3G radio basestation design that divides the radio basestation into a radio and a control part, by specifying one new interface - the only and unique radio driven interconnect point within basestations. This will enable each part of the basestation to better benefit from the technology evolution in its respective area. The CPRI specification is openly available for the benefit of the wireless industry. Key benefits for Network Operators are the availability of wider radio basestation portfolios providing adaptability to all deployment scenarios with a shorter time to market. The CPRI specification enables basestation manufacturers and component vendors to focus their research and development efforts on their core competencies and also allows for new architectures not limited by module dimensions or a pre-defined function split. "The CPRI spec defines a single, standardized interface between the digital components of a basestation and the RF segment, thus creating cost-reduction and faster time to market opportunities at one of the most critical serial links of a system," said Erin Kettwig, product manager for Cypress's Data Communications Division. "By using Cypress's HOTLink II family of PHYs, system vendors are guaranteed a simplified integration with hardware developed independently on either side of the interface." Cypress is a long-time supplier of backplane PHY transceivers that enable the transport of data over high-speed serial links (optical fiber, balanced and unbalanced copper transmission lines, and board traces). The HOTLink II family of PHY devices supports serial data rates of 614.4 Mbps and 1228.8 Mbps on any channel within a single chip. The chips also include a multi-byte framer for more robust framing in CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. , W-CDMA See WCDMA. and GSM/EDGE applications, and support selectable Comma (K28.5) character framing options between both message groups and master frames. Cypress's HOTLink II devices all feature low 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 , 8B/10B ENDEC capabilities, and are available in single-, dual-, quad-, and independent-channel configurations.
