Company Press Release:
TI Introduces Crosspoint Switches
to Support Data Rates up to 4.25 Gbps
Devices Provide
Low Power and Flexibility for High-Speed Applications
Bangalore, (July 31, 2007)
– Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) today introduced two
new crosspoint switches supporting data rates up to 4.25Gbps. The four-by-four
and two-by-two switches provide an exceptional combination of high speed,
low power and low jitter performance for applications such as XAUI signal
buffering/muxing, backplane redundancy and high-speed network routing in
end equipment such as wireless base stations and IP network routers. See
www.ti.com/SN65LVCP404-pr.
The SN65LVCP404 and SN65LVCP402’s
ability to function as either a crosspoint switch or buffer will give designers
the flexibility to use the devices in a wide variety of applications in
the mass market. Other key benefits include:
-
Receive equalization (Rx EQ)
and transmit pre-emphasis improve signal integrity and enable longer transmission
distances
-
Impendent pre-emphasis control
allows designers to tune outputs according to different trace or cable
lengths
-
Low power at 600 mW lets the
designer achieve tighter device packing for higher port densities
-
External control of Vbb enables
interfacing with different input/output types
-
Superior jitter performance
(30 picoseconds) at 4.25 Gbps helps the designer meet the jitter budget
The addition of the SN65LVCP404
and SN65LVCP402 crosspoint switches complement TI’s broad interface product
offering including families of products for M-LVDS, LVDS, PECL, RS-485,
PCI-Express, gigabit Ethernet serializer/deserializers and additional crosspoint
switches. Please see the Interface Selection Guide at www.ti.com/interfaceselection
for more information.
TI also offers a complete
portfolio of single- and multi-core communications infrastructure optimized
digital signal processors (DSP). These DSPs support multiple air interface
standards and a range of base station form factors as well as a variety
of core networking applications including transcoding and media gateways
on a single chip. Coupled with targeted software libraries and third
party reference designs, TI offers the most robust line of products for
the communications infrastructure market.
Availability and Packaging
The SN65LVCP404 (4x4) and
SN65LVCP402 (2x2) are available now in 48-pin and 24-pin quad flat no lead
(QFN) lead-free packages and are priced at $9.85 and $6.65, respectively,
each in 1,000-piece quantities.
TI offers analog engineers
a wide-ranging support infrastructure that includes training and seminars,
design tools and utilities, technical documentation, evaluation modules,
an online KnowledgeBase, a product information hotline and a comprehensive
offering of samples. For more information on TI’s complete analog design
