AMCC Delivers 10 GBPS Digital Wrapper Backplane Serializer/Deserializer For SONET/SDH Transport and Very Short Reach OC-192 Applications   SAN DIEGO, Jun 4, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Verrazano Offers Industry-Leading Jitter Generation and Provides a 25 Percent Savings in System Bandwidth, Extending the Life of Existing   Backplane Designs  Applied Micro Circuits Corp. (AMCC) (Nasdaq:AMCC) today announced the Verrazano (S2509), the industry's first 10 Gbps Digital Wrapper serializer/deserializer (SERDES) supporting SONET/SDH transport and Very Short Reach (VSR) OC-192 and OC-48 transponder applications utilizing four 2.488-2.67 Gbps links.   The Verrazano facilitates the development of SONET/SDH compliant serial backplanes, saving system developers up to 25 percent of a system's total bandwidth that would otherwise be lost with 8B/10B encoding schemes. Running 27-1 PRBS data on all channels, the device features an ultra-low transmit jitter generation of 36 picoseconds peak-to-peak (typical) and provides outstanding eye diagram characteristics with a 91 percent eye opening allowing for increased reach connections at ultra low error rates. (See figure 1).   System developers benefit from the Verrazano's SONET/SDH compliance and compatibility with AMCC's industry-leading Mekong and Zambezi framing and switching devices. By interfacing with AMCC's Hudson Digital Wrapper device, the Verrazano provides the only complete solution for a mid-plane based Digital Wrapper design. (See figure 2). Very Short Reach OC-192 applications utilize the Verrazano's compatibility with AMCC's S7022 and S7025 parallel fiber components. This makes the company's VSR solution ideal for system developers needing plug-n-play VSR links up to 300 meters for rack-to-rack and chassis-to-chassis interconnections as well as board-to-board optical backplane connectivity found in large terabit systems.   "The Verrazano is the industry's first 10 Gbps Digital Wrapper SERDES supporting the ITU G.709 standard while combining excellent jitter generation specifications with improved bandwidth efficiency," said Jon Siann, director of marketing at AMCC. "By delivering complete and intelligent connectivity devices to our customers, AMCC demonstrates its commitment to providing total system solutions for the next generation of optical networks and the terabit connectivity market."   Manufactured in low cost CMOS technology, the device features a power consumption of 5.2 W typical and runs from 1.8 V and 2.5 V power supplies. The Verrazano supports FEC encoded and non-FEC encoded Digital Wrapper frames and provides Optical Channel Overhead insert and drop and Digital Wrapper BIP-8 monitoring for improved signal integrity. Performance monitoring features including SONET/SDH B1 and Digital Wrapper BIP-8 monitoring, Out Of Frame (OOF), Lock Detect and FIFO Over/Underflow provide link integrity monitoring in conjunction with signal integrity enhancement features, which include differential CML high-speed I/O, on-chip terminations, programmable output swing, redundant output drivers with individual squelch control and passive equalization; all of which extend the life of existing low-cost backplane designs.   TDM transport systems can upgrade existing backplanes from OC-12 rates to OC-48 rates across the backplane by utilizing the signal integrity and link monitoring. The device also supports OC-192c inverse muxing with full transparency allowing DWDM network operators to maintain proprietary in-band messaging.   Pricing and Availability  The Verrazano (S2509) is currently sampling to development partners with volume production scheduled for Q3 2001. Packaged in a 483-pin FCPBGA, the device is priced at $360 in volume quantities.
