IDT Delivers the First Network Search Engine with a Seamless Industry-Standard Interface to Network Processors Monday January 6, 7:47 am ET Next-Generation Network Search Engine Lowers System Cost by $150 and Doubles Performance Through the Integration of "Glue" Logic SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 6, 2003-- IDT(TM) (Integrated Device Technology, Inc.; Nasdaq: IDTI), a leading communications IC company and the leading provider of network search engines (NSEs), today announced sampling of the industry's first NSE with an integrated Network Processor Forum (NPF) Look-Aside Interface (LA-1) that delivers the industry's highest performance at an unprecedented 250 MHz. The new IDT device enables a seamless connection to the network processor unit (NPU), allowing significant conservation of board space and enabling designers to begin development without costly or performance-limiting field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) glue logic. This NSE, the latest addition to the IDT family of IP co-processors, accelerates packet processing in products such as core, edge, metro and access routers and offloads the network processor to assist wire-speed implementation of access control lists (ACL), longest prefix match (LPM) and quality of service (QoS). The new IDT NSE offers an electrical and architectural fit with high-speed NPUs and is compliant with the approved NPF specification for the LA-1 Standard. Through its working relationship with Intel, IDT has developed a complete solution for the Intel® IXP2800 and IXP2400 network processors that enable rich OC-192 classification and forwarding with up to four lookups per packet. IDT is a member of the Intel® Internet Exchange Architecture (IXA) Developer Network. "Our work with IDT has resulted in an effective and efficient interface between our IXP2400 and IXP2800 family of network processors and the IDT NSE," said Nick Finamore, general manager of Intel's Network Processor Division. "This provides our customers a robust hardware and software development environment for accelerating classification and packet processing at up to OC-192 data rates." The IDT NSE includes a set of Dynamic Database Management(TM) features and sophisticated instruction capabilities that result in an up to 70 percent power savings when compared to alternative solutions. Additionally, the ability to offload searching tasks from the network processor provides extra headroom, permitting the network processor to provide value-added revenue-generating services such as traffic management, security and accounting. IDT Delivers Complete Design Accelerator Kit for its Network Search Engine with LA-1 Interface IDT also offers a complete design accelerator kit, including a full suite of software and hardware development tools. This complete solution speeds time to market, reduces development costs, and increases overall system performance. The IDT software development kit (SDK) includes a cycle- and data-accurate system level architecture model (SLAM) that allows designers to fully evaluate and test packet-processing solutions in a complete pre-hardware simulation environment. Designers also have available complete application library support and data-plane macros, as well as tools that help evaluate power consumption, bus utilization and system performance. Designers' systems are further accelerated to market through the availability of the IDT suite of hardware development tools, including a reference board that supports the Intel IXDP2400 development platform. "Our LA-1 compliant NSE integrates the equivalent of more than $150 of surrounding glue logic and improves architectural efficiency, delivering an unparalleled reduction in cost, power, board space and chip count, while doubling overall search performance. We've received very positive results on this device and have been sampling it to multiple Tier 1 customers since last year," said Chris Schott, vice president of the IDT IP co-processor division. "We are pleased to have collaborated so closely with Intel to develop this breakthrough device that addresses the requirements of our mutual customers." Pricing and Availability The IDT NSE with LA-1 interface is sampling now with production beginning in Q1CY03. Pricing for the device is $225 in volume quantities.

Part Number: 75K62134 Base Configuration: 256Kx36 Performance: 250 MHz Package: 525-ball BGA Samples Available: Now Production Available: Q1CY03 Price/Volume Quantities: $225 IDT IP Co-Processor Solutions The Company offers IP co-processor solutions that consist of network search engines and classification and content inspection processors, and is the recognized industry leader in both these areas. Based on the integration of content addressable memory (CAM) and high-performance logic, the IDT NSEs support NPUs and ASICs to accelerate packet classification and forwarding in core, metro and access networks. The IDT classification and content inspection processors are capable of filtering and parsing data up to Layer 7, a functionality that, when coupled with its NSEs, allows for inspection of content in both the packet header and payload, resulting in more intelligent packet processing at wire speed. IDT is an active member and contributor to NPF and the LA interface definition. IDT is an NPF Board member and serves as chairman of the board.
