AMCC and Zarlink Semiconductor to Develop Complete 120 Gigabit Short-Reach Optical SolutionsVertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL)-Based Solutions to Quadruple Capacity and Bandwidth Density of Optical Interconnects   SAN DIEGO, Jun 5, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Applied Micro Circuits Corp. (AMCC) (Nasdaq:AMCC) and Zarlink Semiconductor(TM) (formerly Mitel Semiconductor) today announced they are developing multi-channel, interoperable 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps) per channel products that will offer customers complete short-reach optical connectivity solutions for high-capacity, next-generation networking systems.   Zarlink will introduce 12-channel, VCSEL-based parallel fiber modules operating at 10 Gbps per channel, for an aggregate bandwidth of 120 Gbps. AMCC will bring to market interoperable physical layer, switch fabric, network processing and framer products. The interoperability of AMCC's components and Zarlink's 10 Gbps per channel modules will enable optical systems vendors to quadruple equipment capacity, while reducing development cycles and time to market.   Zarlink expects the market for very short-reach parallel fiber solutions used in and between high-capacity network equipment to grow beyond US $1 billion within three years. The companies' new 10 Gbps parallel fiber products meet customer requirements for lower cost and higher speeds by offering four times the bandwidth density of today's 2.5 Gbps short-reach optical systems.   "This is the next step in our program to develop a family of very short-reach, high-capacity parallel fiber modules that deliver the industry's best price-performance ratio," said Claes Johansson, director of Zarlink's Optical Communications unit. "Developing modules that transport data at 120 Gbps is made possible by continuing advances in our 10 Gbps VCSEL and patented packaging and manufacturing technologies."   Collaborative work on the new 10 Gbps products follows a successful joint program to develop short-reach optical solutions operating at 2.5 Gbps per channel. Zarlink's current generation of 4-, 8- and 12-channel modules utilize AMCC's S7022 Quad VCSEL driver and S7025 Quad transimpedance amplifier (TIA), with integrated limiting amplifier and Loss of Signal (LOS) detection circuitry.   "We will continue to build on our successful relationship with Zarlink for complete terabit connectivity solutions that complement our PHY, framer/mapper, network processor, and switch fabric products for seamless distributed networking systems," said Paul Duran, AMCC's product marketing manager. "This compelling technology is an essential ingredient in the development of terabit networking systems that require the lowest cost and power dissipation per gigabit as well the highest bandwidth density per square inch."   Target applications for the new products include proprietary interconnects in high-capacity scalable multi-chassis routers, switches and optical cross-connects; and standardized interconnects between this type of equipment in central offices. For example, the combination of Zarlink's 10 Gbps per channel parallel fiber modules with AMCC's PHY/framer products will enable a complete and cost-effective 40 Gbps transponder solution for Very Short Reach (VSR) OC-768, compliant with proposed Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) standards.
