AMCC Adds Multi-Rate Capability to its Line of Low Jitter OC-48 CMOS
Transceivers
AMCC's S3065 and S3465 multi-rate devices provide customers with an unparalleled
combination of low power and exceptional jitter generation performance for optical
networks operating at up to 3.0 Gbps
SAN DIEGO, May 16, 2001 -- Applied Micro Circuits Corp. (AMCC) [NASDAQ:AMCC],
the leader in high-bandwidth silicon connectivity solutions for the world's optical
networks, today announced the S3065 (see figure 1) and the S3465 (see figure 2)
devices. The S3065 and S3465 are CMOS multi-rate transceivers with integrated Clock
and Data Recovery (CDR), and offer jitter generation performance that is among the
best in the industry. The S3065 is the industry's only available CMOS 16-bit multi-rate
OC-48 transceiver with CDR and features a 16-bit differential LVPECL interface (see
figure 3). The S3465 is a CMOS OC-48 multi-rate transceiver with CDR and features a
4-bit LVDS interface (see figure 4). Both devices perform clock and data recovery, and
serializer/deserializer functions for OC-3/12/24/48 (with or without FEC), Fibre Channel,
2 x Fibre Channel, HDTV, and Gigabit Ethernet. The S3065 and S3465 build upon the
advanced features of AMCC's S3055 and S3455 OC-48 transceivers, which began
shipping in high volume earlier this year.
The second-generation transceivers couple outstanding jitter generation performance
with low power and low cost to provide a complete end-to-end multi-rate solution that
meets the requirements of new intelligent optical networking equipment. Exceeding
Bellcore and ITU-T specifications, each device features a jitter generation of 5mUI rms,
providing outstanding design margin for SONET applications. The S3065 and S3465 are
designed for use in SONET/SDH/ATM-based transmission systems and Wavelength
Division Multiplexing (WDM) equipment.
"These new CMOS devices build upon and expand AMCC's existing OC-48 solutions,
providing customers with multi-rate products featuring industry-leading jitter generation
as well as significant reductions in power, cost and board space," said Glenn Pohly,
AMCC's senior product marketing manager. "This introduction not only demonstrates our
capability of meeting evolving market demands, but supports AMCC's continued
commitment to developing low cost and low power solutions that feature leading-edge
performance, combined with high-volume manufacturability."
The S3065 is footprint compatible with the S3055 and was designed with a 16-bit
differential LVPECL data path to interface with AMCC's industry-leading framers
including Amazon, Missouri, Rhine, and Indus. With a 4-bit LVDS interface, the S3465
was designed from its inception to work seamlessly with AMCC's industry-leading
framers including Ganges, Danube and Ohio. In addition, the S3465 is footprint
compatible with AMCC's S3455 transceiver, which allows for easy migration between
devices.
Both devices provide diagnostic loopback (transmitter-to-receiver) and line timing
