AMCC's 10 Gbps Network Processor to Complete Industry's First Scalable, Software-Compatible 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps NPU FamilyFourth-Generation nP7510 Network Processor Joins AMCC's nPX5700 and nPX5800 to Complete 10 Gbps Network Processor, Traffic Manager, and Switch Fabric Platform   SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct 22, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Applied Micro Circuits Corp.'s Switching and Network Processing Group (AMCC) (Nasdaq:AMCC) today announced the nP7510 10 Gbps Network Processor, which is expected to complete the industry's first software-compatible network processor (NPU) family that scales from 100 Mbps to 10 Gbps, from Fast Ethernet and OC-3 to 10 Gbps Ethernet and OC-192 Packet over SONET (PoS) and ATM applications.   The nP7510 represents the fourth generation in the company's nP7000 family of fully software-programmable, policy-enabled network processors, and with the nPsoft(TM) Development Environment, customers can easily preserve their investments in software from previous generations. The nP7510 complements AMCC's previously announced 10 Gbps traffic managers, framers, PHYs, and switch fabrics to form the industry's first complete integrated solutions for 10 Gbps rate metropolitan area (MAN) edge, access, core router, and other applications. Designed with the company's core, patented Network-optimized Instruction Set Computing (NISC) technology, the nP7510 achieves 10 Gbps rates using just six of AMCC's own highly efficient nPcores(TM) and readily available .18-micron CMOS technology, reserving smaller process geometries for future enhancements and multi-component integration. The maximum efficiency of AMCC's core NPU technology allows for even greater potential future scaling to 40 Gbps OC-768 rates.   "AMCC is a market and technology leader in the network processor industry," said Linley Gwennap, principal analyst of The Linley Group. "The nP7510 gives the company a significant lead over its major competitors in delivering a 10 Gbps product. In addition, AMCC's combination of compatible 10 Gbps network processor, traffic manager, framer, PHY, and switch fabric components lets designers reduce time-to-market and risk."   The nP7510 represents the fourth-generation of AMCC's nP7000 family of fully software-programmable, policy-enabled network processors and is capable of wire-speed processing at 10 Gbps rates. The network processor offers enhanced debugging capabilities and minimized intrusiveness over previous generations with its On-Chip Debug Engine, allowing programmers increased visibility and flexibility when debugging code. The nP7510 features a new optimized memory interface for the six patented, highly efficient nPcores(TM), enabling new savings in internal memory space. The device also supports a greater number of simultaneous tasks, or threads, than prior network processor generations. The nP7510 is complemented by AMCC's nPsoft(TM) Development Environment, including C/C++ compiler, assembler, performance profiling utilities, graphical symbolic debugger, the nPsoft Services framework and API, and the core nPkernel layer that ensures developers can easily preserve software investments from prior generations. Ready-to-use switching, IP routing, MPLS, and ATM application libraries from AMCC and its software partners provide even greater options for fully integrated turnkey solutions.   "Our field-proven, now fourth generation core technology not only lets us produce a wire-speed OC-192 NPU, but enables a complete scalable family, from OC-3 to potential future OC-768 line rates, without a major architectural overhaul," said Andy Gottlieb, vice president of marketing for AMCC's Switching and Network Processing Group. "AMCC's scalable core technology and complementary software architecture make possible new highly scalable complete network equipment systems products with a wide range of interface and uplink speeds, and our existing customers can leverage their prior software investments to further reduce both risk and time-to-market."   While the nP7510 can be used in a variety of configurations, including easy combination with other vendors or customers' own silicon, the nP7510 further demonstrates AMCC's leadership in providing complete high-bandwidth silicon solutions for intelligent optical networks by combining seamlessly with AMCC's complete family of 10 Gbps solutions. These include Khatanga, AMCC's recently announced OC-192 framer, the nPX5700 feature-rich traffic management chipset, and AMCC's nPX5800 and nPX8000 families of multi-technology IP/ATM switch fabric solutions that scale from 20 Gbps to terabit ranges.   Pricing and Availability  The nP7510 is packaged in a 1428-pin Flip Chip BGA and is expected to begin sampling in January. It is priced at $700.00 in volume quantities of 10K.
