Business Wire's Home Page at www.businesswire.com SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2000-- The S2092 Offers Designers High Performance and Significantly Reduced Power in a Low Cost Solution Applied Micro Circuits Corp. (AMCC) (NASDAQ:AMCC), a leader in high-bandwidth silicon connectivity solutions for the world's optical networks, today announced the S2092 clock and data recovery device with 2.5 and 2.67 Gbps operation. An addition to the company's serial backplane family, the S2092 is ideal for short-haul connections that enable bandwidth expansion within network equipment such as wavelength routers. Featuring low power dissipation, 460 mW typical, from a single +3.3V power supply, and a compact 7mm X 7mm TQFP package, the S2092 is optimized for high-density designs. "The S2092 is a key device in expanding the internal bandwidth of optical core network equipment," said Paul Duran, AMCC's product marketing manger for datacom products. "Combined with other robust AMCC products, such as the S2018 crosspoint, the S2092 offers a high performance/low cost solution for short-haul retiming in large optical switch applications. These high port count switches are typically implemented using multiple crosspoints and retimers in CLOS 3-stage architectures." The S2092 utilizes on-chip high frequency Phase Lock Loop (PLL) consisting of a phase detector, Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) and a loop filter for clock recovery. The phase detector compares the phase relationship between the VCO output and serial data input, as a loop filter converts the phase detector output into a smooth DC voltage. The VCO frequency is then varied by this DC voltage input. The S2092 incorporates a lock detect function in order to monitor the reliability of the serial data inputs. Featuring an internal 100(OMEGA) line-to-line termination on a high speed differential input, the device's capabilities derive high speed timing signals with a low-jitter serial CML interface. Pricing and Availability The S2092 is currently sampling with production release scheduled for June, 2000. The device, packaged in a compact 7 mm x 7 mm 48-pin TQFP/TEP, is priced at $29 in quantities of 1000.
