Mysticom delivers CX4 module-in-a-chip enabling up to 80% cost savings for 10-gigabit links.Mysticom Semiconductor has announced the MY3126, a highly integrated CX4 silicon solution that addresses the need for cost-effective 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) links in the enterprise. The lack of cost-effective 10-Gbit/sec uplinks is a major factor preventing the deployment of gigabit-speed switching at the desktop. Today's delivery options, such as optical and multiple-gigabit links are costly and sub-optimal, respectively. Mysticom's CX4 solution enables an 80% cost savings over current 10-Gbit/sec industry solutions. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Wiren Perera, Mysticom vice president of marketing, "Mysticom not only had a major impact on establishing the CX4 standard, but is the first to deliver this class of performance in a "module in a chip." The MY3126 is reliable at distances of 30m at 10 Gbps, making it ideal not only for the stackable market segment, but much of the data center as well. We're continuing to solve the issue of distance vs. cost over both copper and fiber, while exceeding industry standards," said Perera. Adjustable link parameters reduce inter-symbol interference; improve 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 ; and offer impedance control and NEXT/FEXT impairment reduction. An optional integrated forward-error-correction (FEC See forward error correction. FEC - Forward Error Correction ) on each channel reduces bit-error-rate (BER (1) (Basic Encoding Rules) A set of encoding rules for ASN.1 notation, which is a method for defining data structures. See ASN.1. (2) (Bit Error Rate) The average number of bits transmitted in error. See BERT. 1. ), while extending signal distances even further. The small-footprint IC integrates XENPAK registers and an oscillator oscillator Mechanical or electronic device that produces a back-and-forth periodic motion. A pendulum is a simple mechanical oscillator that swings with a constant amplitude, requiring the addition of energy at each swing only to compensate for the energy lost because of air ; only the crystal and EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM) A rewritable memory chip that holds its content without power. Although EEPROMs spawned flash memory, EEPROMs are byte addressable at the write level, whereas flash chips must erase a block of bytes before rewriting. remain external to the chip. User-programmable Tx and Rx pins are assigned for optimized layouts, enhancing performance, lowering power, and reducing cost. The MY3126 is priced at $50 in high volume. Samples are currently available, and production volume will begin in Q3 of 2004. |
