The Verrazano facilit= ates the development of SONET/SDH compliant serial backplanes, saving syste= m developers up to 25 percent of a system's total bandwidth that would othe= rwise be lost with 8B/10B encoding schemes. Running 27-1 PRBS data on all c= hannels, the device features an ultra-low transmit jitter generation of 36 = picoseconds peak-to-peak (typical) and provides outstanding eye diagram cha= racteristics with a 91 percent eye opening allowing for increased reach con= nections at ultra low error rates. (See figure 1). System developers bene= fit from the Verrazano's SONET/SDH compliance and compatibility with AMCC's= industry-leading Mekong and Zambezi framing and switching devices. By inte= rfacing with AMCC's Hudson Digital Wrapper device, the Verrazano provides t= he only complete solution for a mid-plane based Digital Wrapper design. (Se= e figure 2). Very Short Reach OC-192 applications utilize the Verrazano's c= ompatibility with AMCC's S7022 and S7025 parallel fiber components. This ma= kes the company's VSR solution ideal for system developers needing plug-n-p= lay VSR links up to 300 meters for rack-to-rack and chassis-to-chassis inte= rconnections 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 e= xcellent jitter generation specifications with improved bandwidth efficienc= y," said Jon Siann, director of marketing at AMCC. "By delivering complete = and intelligent connectivity devices to our customers, AMCC demonstrates it= s commitment to providing total system solutions for the next generation of= optical networks and the terabit connectivity market." Manufactured in l= ow cost CMOS technology, the device features a power consumption of 5.2 W t= ypical 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 Optica= l 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 Dete= ct 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; a= ll of which extend the life of existing low-cost backplane designs. TDM t= ransport systems can upgrade existing backplanes from OC-12 rates to OC-48 = rates across the backplane by utilizing the signal integrity and link monit= oring. The device also supports OC-192c inverse muxing with full transparen= cy allowing DWDM network operators to maintain proprietary in-band messagin= g. Pricing and Availability The Verrazano (S2509) is currently sampling = to development partners with volume production scheduled for Q3 2001. Packa= ged in a 483-pin FCPBGA, the device is priced at $360 in volume quantities.= About AMCC AMCC designs, develops, manufactures, and markets high-perfo= rmance, high-bandwidth silicon solutions for the world's optical networks. = AMCC utilizes a combination of high-frequency analog, mixed-signal and digi= tal design expertise coupled with system-level knowledge and multiple silic= on process technologies to offer integrated circuit products that enable th= e transport of voice and data over fiber optic networks.
