Employing approximately 2500 people worldwide, headquartered in San Jose, California and operating a fab in Hillsboro, Oregon, the company both designs and fabricates semiconductor components. , Inc.: Leading Semiconductor Solutions Provider Leverages Expertise in Timing Technology to Deliver Advanced Memory Buffer buffer, solution that can keep its relative acidity or alkalinity constant, i.e., keep its pH constant, despite the addition of strong acids or strong bases. and High-Precision Clocking Devices Optimized for New Server Platforms IDT IDT Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (Santa Clara, CA, USA) IDT I Don't Think IDT Identity Theft IDT Interrupt Descriptor Table IDT Integrated DNA Technologies IDT Inactive Duty Training IDT Instructional Design & Technology (TM) (Integrated Device Technology, Inc.) (Nasdaq:IDTI IDTI Integrated Device Technology Inc ) today announced its support for the new Intel(R) Dual-Core Xeon A high-end Intel CPU chip. Designed for servers and fast workstations and pronounced "zee-ahn," Xeons include error checking memory, system management features and fast system buses and L2 caches. The first Xeon was introduced in 1998 when the Pentium II was mainstream. (R) Processor Series 5000 and 5100 (formerly codenamed "Dempsey" and "Woodcrest"). IDT is providing a suite of platform-optimized devices consisting of an industry-leading advanced memory buffer (AMB AMB Ambient AMB Ambassador AMB Amber AMB Ambulance AMB Associação Médica Brasileira (Brazil) AMB Ambulatory AMB Advanced Memory Buffer (FBDIMM control unit on DRAM) ) device and a newly available portfolio of high-precision clocking components. With these products, IDT can support the critical timing and interface requirements of the new Intel server platforms. About IDT AMB Technology AMB devices are an essential building block for next-generation, high-bandwidth applications, such as servers, which require increased performance and large memory capacities. A key attribute of the fully-buffered DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module) A printed circuit board that holds memory chips and plugs into a DIMM socket on the motherboard. See memory module. DIMM - Dual In-Line Memory Module (FB-DIMM) channel architecture is the high-speed, serial, point-to-point connection between the memory controller and modules on the channel. The AMB chip, located on each FB-DIMM, collects and distributes the data from or to a DIMM, buffers the data internally on the chip and receives or forwards it to the next DIMM or memory controller. This unique channel structure alleviates buffer latency (1) The time between initiating a request in the computer and receiving the answer. Data latency may refer to the time between a query and the results arriving at the screen or the time between initiating a transaction that modifies one or more databases and its completion. issues common in registered DIMM technology, enabling designers to use a large number of DIMMs within a single system. IDT has established market leadership in AMB technology. In addition to becoming the first AMB vendor to achieve production status, the company was first to sample AMB products and was also first to exhibit system operation. About IDT High-Precision Timing Devices The new Intel server platforms leverage PCI Express A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002. Note that although sometimes abbreviated "PCX," PCI Express is not the same as "PCI-X" (see PCI-SIG and PCI-X for comparison). As a result of the confusion, "PCI-E" or "PCIe" is the accepted abbreviation. (R) and FB-DIMM technologies to achieve new levels of performance and scalability. To support the platforms' high-performance capabilities, the new IDT timing devices provide high-precision clocks with a unique combination of low cycle-to-cycle 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 , output-to-output skew (1) The misalignment of a document or punch card in the feed tray or hopper that prohibits it from being scanned or read properly. (2) In facsimile, the difference in rectangularity between the received and transmitted page. and phase jitter characteristics. To address scalability, each device within the portfolio is carefully tuned to maintain the performance attributes as the products are cascaded together. In addition, the products are tailored to meet the needs of each of the multiple timing domains, including low-jitter and spread spectrum. "IDT has strong expertise in server applications and has established leadership in the silicon-based timing solutions market," said Jimmy Lee, senior vice president and general manager for the IDT Timing Solutions Group. "It is this combination of attributes that makes IDT well suited to meet the overall timing and interface requirements for the new Dual-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R)-based platforms. We are pleased to have aligned with Intel to deliver a superior family of devices that enable leading server manufacturers to realize greater performance and scalability." "The introduction of the Dual-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor-based platforms is in line with our goal of offering an integrated, high performance solution, enabling both CIOs and IT managers the ability to improve manageability man·age·a·ble adj. That can be managed or controlled: manageable problems. man , IT productivity and performance of servers in the data center," said Jim Pappas, director of initiative marketing for Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking . "Our proven processor technology and system know-how, coupled with our roster of industry-leading ecosystem vendors, including IDT, will enable us to achieve this goal." In addition to its AMB and new high-precision timing devices, IDT also offers the PRECISE(TM) family of PCI Express serial-switching solutions that can be used in conjunction with these platforms to provide high-performance 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 connectivity expansion. All products are available in RoHS-compliant packages.
