appreciate the kind words, jk. looks like this week is off to a good start ... ----- Vitesse Introduces 500Mb/s VideoShift Register IC; Integrates Multiplexer and Demultiplexer Capability August 2, 1999 08:02 AM CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 2, 1999--In order to meet customer demands for off-the-shelf high speed video shift registers, Vitesse Semiconductor Corp. (VTSS) Monday introduced the VSC6424, a 500Mb/s, 40-bit video shift register that integrates both the multiplexer (mux) and demultiplexer (demux) functions. Designers of high-speed memory interfaces for video, medical, telecom and Automatic Test Equipment (ATE) equipment manufacturers now have access to the mux/demux technology in a standard product, eliminating the design time and costs associated with developing an ASIC. The multiple shift length configurations available with the VSC6424 include eight 5-bit, eight 4-bit, five 8-bit, four 10-bit, two 16-bit, two 20-bit, one 32-bit or one 40-bit shift registers, any one of which is user configurable. The internal timing generation of the VSC6424 provides for 500Mb/s operation, while the external timing generation at a speed of 250Mb/s, provides for backwards compatibility with lower speed designs and previous generations of shift registers. "The VSC6424 provides our customers with access to high speed serializing, as well as deserializing, technology without the overhead of a custom design," stated Matthew Dru, applications engineer for Vitesse's ATE Division. "The features and capabilities of the VSC6424 fulfills the needs of a host of applications, both in and outside the video marketplace," concluded Dru. The VSC6424 is packaged in a low-cost 128 pin, 14x20mm PQFP. Production quantities are available now and are priced at $62 in quantities of 1,000.
