Vitesse Extends Leadership in Gigabit Ethernet With First 600mW Gigabit Ethernet PHY; Industry's Lowest Power, Most Integrated Gigabit Ethernet PHY Brings Cost and Complexity Down to Accelerate Market Transition to GbE.CAMARILLO, Calif. -- Vitesse Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :VTSS VTSS Vehicle Theft Security System VTSS Vancouver Technical Secondary School ), the market leader in Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. ICs, today unveiled the 600mW SimpliPHY(TM) VSC VSC Vehicle Stability Control VSC Vermont State Colleges (Waterbury, Vermont) VSC Vessel Safety Check (USCG Auxilliary) VSC Vehicle Skid Control VSC Vermont Service Center 8601 and VSC8641, the industry's lowest power and most integrated Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) PHYs. Vitesse is the first to achieve 600mW in a highly integrated GbE PHY See physical layer and physical. , extending its technology leadership while helping customers bring system cost down and system performance up. Leveraging power, performance and integration, the VSC8601 and VSC8641 enable customers to accelerate the transition to GbE to support today's bandwidth-intensive applications driven by converged data, voice and video traffic. "We have shipped more than 15 million Gigabit Ethernet PHYs worldwide and are raising the bar again with the introduction of the VSC8601 and VSC8641, leveraging our unique SimpliPHY technology and innovation. This delivers a 25 percent reduction in power over competitive solutions and further secures our position as the leader in Gigabit Switch and Gigabit PHY integration. As a result, ODMs and OEMs gain the best performance in a smaller, lower power device, and accelerate the transition from 10/100 to Gigabit Ethernet," said Martyn Humphries, vice president and general manager of the Ethernet Products Division at Vitesse. Adoption of Gigabit Ethernet has been driven by customer requirements and technology capabilities, largely fueled by the so-called Triple Play and the increasing bandwidth requirements Bandwidth requirements (communications) The channel bandwidths needed to transmit various types of signals, using various processing schemes. Every signal observed in practice can be expressed as a sum (discrete or over a frequency continuum) of sinusoidal associated with converged data, voice and video applications. With the VSC8601 and VSC8641 Vitesse reduces system cost and complexity, removing key barriers for companies and supporting the transition to GbE. These newest additions to the SimpliPHY family represent Vitesse's sixth generation GbE PHY and mark the next stage in continuing advancement and integration. Power, Performance and Integration Power is a critical consideration in PC board design. By lowering power consumption, Vitesse is reducing costs and enabling greater integration and performance at both the device and system levels. With more capabilities integrated into its SimpliPHY devices, Vitesse offers a higher level of assurance to its customers, improving reliability and performance while reducing circuit and system risk.

To further reduce complexity, component count, and system cost, the VSC8601 and VSC8641 include an internal 1.2V power regulator that operates on a single 3.3V supply. Additionally, integrated RGMII RGMII Reduced Gigabit Media Independent Interface timing compensation on the VSC8601 eliminates the need for on-board delay lines. Vitesse customers also benefit from fewer components on the board, reducing failure rate at the manufacturing level, lowering Build of Materials expenses, and delivering a cleaner, more productive product to their users. Pricing and Availability The VSC8601 is designed for Gigabit LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. on Motherboard (GLOM glom Slang v. glommed, glom·ming, gloms v.tr. 1. To steal. 2.
