As the Latest Addition to AMCC's SiliconHiway Transceiver Family, The S2067 Serial Backplane Interconnect IC Provides Another Low Cost, Low-Power Option for High-Speed Data Transmission.
The S2067 joins AMCC's S2062 (dual-port, single I/O), S2064 (quad-port, single I/O) and S2065 (quad-port, dual I/O) SiliconHiway(TM) products as part of the industry's first line of off-the-shelf, CMOS-fabricated, multi-port transceivers that support data transfer rates of 770 Mbps to 1.3 Gbps per channel (full-duplex).
When coupled with AMCC's crosspoint switches and logic, the S2067 can also facilitate development of high-capacity serial backplanes with up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth, while still maintaining an industry-low 0.8W of power dissipation per channel (1.6W total) from a single 3.3V supply.
MCC's new S2067 transceiver integrates two separate, full-duplex, 1.25 Gbps transceivers which can be operated individually for a data capacity greater than 2.0 Gbps. AMCC's S2067 also provides two high-speed differential inputs and outputs for its transmitter and receiver channels.
This enables each of the S2067's two channels to drive a primary and secondary switch fabric, which is important for backplane applications where redundancy is required to achieve higher reliability and/or hot-swappability.
The new 21 mm x 21 mm 156-pin TBGA packaged IC facilitates high-speed serial data transmission in a variety of applications, including: Ethernet backbones, workstations, switched networks, data broadcast environments and proprietary extended backplanes using Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, serial backplanes or proprietary point-to-point links.
