MILPITAS, Calif., July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- LSI Logic (NYSE: LSI), the industry leader in high speed I/O technology, announced today that its current generation of GigaBlaze(R) integrated gigabit per second CMOS transceiver cores support the physical requirements of Next Generation I/O (NGIO). LSI Logic's GigaBlaze cores meet NGIO's double-speed serial transfer rate of 2.5 Gbits/sec, allowing designers to start development of NGIO technology products immediately. By combining the high performance, low power, small size and cost advantages of CMOS integrated transceivers with the ease of use of LSI Logic's CoreWare(R) methodology, the GigaBlaze transceiver cores can be easily and quickly integrated into system-level ASICs to implement the new NGIO technology. The LSI Logic GigaBlaze transceiver cores were essential for the successful volume launch of Fibre Channel products into the marketplace and they will also be key to the volume launch of NGIO products. While discrete technology is adequate for limited volumes, the marketplace requires a rapid transition to high-volume, cost-effective integrated systems on a chip where the GigaBlaze cores and LSI Logic lead the industry. LSI Logic achieved an industry milestone in 1996 with the introduction of the first Fibre Channel compliant integrated transceiver cores operating at 1.0625 Gbits/sec. A second milestone followed quickly thereafter when LSI Logic announced its second generation of GigaBlaze transceiver cores, which were also Gigabit Ethernet compliant at 1.25 Gbits/sec. LSI Logic's current (third) generation of GigaBlaze transceiver cores will support the latest requirements for the NGIO Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet standards operating at serial data transmission rates of 2.5, 2.125, 1.25 and 1.0625 Gbits/s. LSI Logic is committed to maintaining the integrity of switched-fabric architectures, contributing to subsequent modifications of the physical interface standards and advancing the technology to higher levels of performance. LSI Logic's GigaBlaze transceiver cores can be found today in a broad array of storage, telecommunications, and computer applications including pioneering products from the market leaders in Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and System Area Networks (SAN) products. "With the proven market experience of three generations of gigabit per second CMOS transceiver cores, LSI Logic is the market leader in integrated transceivers. Today, our customers can rapidly develop and bring to market high performance NGIO products with the GigaBlaze G11 transceiver cores," said Marc Miller, Director of Computer Product Marketing at LSI Logic. "LSI Logic is already preparing for the next millennium and development work is underway on our fourth generation of multi-gigabit per second integrated transceivers for the year 2000." In addition to its high performance GigaBlaze cores, LSI Logic offers its customers everything they need in high-speed I/O technology. LSI Logic's customers enjoy the benefits of its experience in developing, integrating and shipping the industry's best high-speed I/O cores and buffers including leading technologies like the Direct Rambus(R) D-RAC core, HyperPHY(TM) cores, FlexCore(R) PCI-66 core and PCI, AGP, memory interface, SCSI and LVDS buffers.
