IDT Introduces New Family of High-Performance LVDS Fan-Out Buffers.Business Editors/High-Tech WritersSANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 17, 2003 Leading Communications IC Company Delivers Industry's First Fan-Out Devices Offering Redundant Clocking with Glitchless Switchover for Increased System Reliability 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 IDT (NASDAQ: IDTI) was founded in 1980 as a semiconductor vendor. 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.) (Nasdaq:IDTI IDTI Integrated Device Technology Inc ), a leading communications IC company, today announced its entry into the high-performance clock distribution market with the introduction of a family of industry leading, low-voltage differential signaling Low-voltage differential signaling, or LVDS, is an electrical signaling system that can run at very high speeds over cheap, twisted-pair copper cables. It was introduced in 1994, and has since become very popular in computers, where it forms part of very high-speed networks (LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) A transmission method for sending digital information. LVDS sends data over data high and data low lines rather than data and ground. ) fan-out buffers. Leveraging its expertise in timing technology, IDT is the first in the industry to introduce LVDS fan-out buffers that offer redundant clocking with glitchless switchover. This functionality provides controlled switchover to the back-up clock without generating glitches that can cause system failures -- a key capability to ensure increased system reliability in high-performance communications applications such as routers and access equipment. With a 25 ps maximum skew, the new IDT LVDS fan-out buffers offer the industry's most precise clock-signal alignment. Using 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. technology, the IDT LVDS fan-out buffers operate at a 1 GHz clock speed, and are available in output versions of 1:6, 1:10 and 1:16. The devices offer interface 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.

"There is an ongoing need to increase reliability in high-performance communications systems. As a result, designers are continually seeking next-generation solutions to satisfy their evolving design requirements," said Kevin Walsh, director of strategic marketing for the IDT timing and logic divisions. "The IDT LVDS fan-out buffers increase system dependability by providing redundant clocking with a mechanism to eliminate glitches when switching from one clock to another. Our expertise in timing technology, coupled with our desire to anticipate and satisfy the needs of leading communications companies, makes IDT a perfect fit for this marketplace." Pricing and Availability The IDT LVDS fan-out buffers with glitchless switchover range in price from $5.95 to $9.50 each, in 10,000-piece quantities. Other devices within the family range in price from $4.50 to $7.95 each, in 10,000-unit quantities. The parts are available now.
