(AMCC) (Nasdaq:AMCC) and Zarlink Semiconductor(TM) (formerly Mitel Semic= onductor) 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, nex= t-generation networking systems. Zarlink will introduce 12-channel, VCSEL= -based parallel fiber modules operating at 10 Gbps per channel, for an aggr= egate bandwidth of 120 Gbps. AMCC will bring to market interoperable physic= al layer, switch fabric, network processing and framer products. The intero= perability of AMCC's components and Zarlink's 10 Gbps per channel modules w= ill enable optical systems vendors to quadruple equipment capacity, while r= educing development cycles and time to market. Zarlink expects the market= for very short-reach parallel fiber solutions used in and between high-cap= acity network equipment to grow beyond US $1 billion within three years. Th= e companies' new 10 Gbps parallel fiber products meet customer requirements= for lower cost and higher speeds by offering four times the bandwidth dens= ity of today's 2.5 Gbps short-reach optical systems. "This is the next st= ep in our program to develop a family of very short-reach, high-capacity pa= rallel fiber modules that deliver the industry's best price-performance rat= io," said Claes Johansson, director of Zarlink's Optical Communications uni= t. "Developing modules that transport data at 120 Gbps is made possible by = continuing advances in our 10 Gbps VCSEL and patented packaging and manufac= turing technologies." Collaborative work on the new 10 Gbps products foll= ows a successful joint program to develop short-reach optical solutions ope= rating 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 tr= ansimpedance amplifier (TIA), with integrated limiting amplifier and Loss o= f Signal (LOS) detection circuitry. "We will continue to build on our suc= cessful relationship with Zarlink for complete terabit connectivity solutio= ns that complement our PHY, framer/mapper, network processor, and switch fa= bric products for seamless distributed networking systems," said Paul Duran= , AMCC's product marketing manager. "This compelling technology is an essen= tial ingredient in the development of terabit networking systems that requi= re the lowest cost and power dissipation per gigabit as well the highest ba= ndwidth density per square inch." Target applications for the new product= s include proprietary interconnects in high-capacity scalable multi-chassis= routers, switches and optical cross-connects; and standardized interconnec= ts between this type of equipment in central offices. For example, the comb= ination 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 tran= sponder solution for Very Short Reach (VSR) OC-768, compliant with proposed= Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) standards.
