Galileo Announces New Remote Access Controller FYI DSL December 14, 1998 -- Galileo Technology, Inc. today announced the GT-96010A Remote Access Controller. The GT-96010A provides a complete WAN-access subsystem-on-a-chip ideal for applications such as DSLAMs, SOHO routers, and remote-access servers. It includes a powerful feature set: multi-protocol serial controllers, RISC CPU interface, system controller and DMA engines, and Ethernet connection. The GT-96010A improves on Galileo's first-generation GT-96010 product by offering increased performance and support for a variety of popular embedded-system microprocessors. "The GT-96010A has the flexibility, high-performance, and fast time-to-market system designers of WAN access systems have been asking for,'' said Ronen Boneh, Galileo's product director for WAN products. "Our customers appreciate the GT-96010A's integration of what is often many discrete components, into a single solution in silicon. Additionally, the GT-96010A has the performance needed to support multiple xDSL channels, as well as high-bandwidth frame relay or ISDN applications.'' "The GT-96010A offers designers three degrees of flexibility,'' said Mark Mihara, Galileo's product manager for WAN products. "First, is the CPU choice. The GT-96010A provides a simple interface to Intel's i960® and i486®, IDT's RC32364, Motorola's Coldfire™, and IBM's PowerPC™ 401GF. Second, its integrated multi-protocol serial controllers may be individually programmed to support HDLC, BiSync, UART, or other user-defined protocols. Finally, the GT-96010A supports a modular system architecture. Multiple GT-96010A's may be cascaded, providing the ability to simply and cost-effectively add system performance and channels." The GT-96010A is available in volume production quantities now, and is priced at $24.95 in 10K volumes. Evaluation boards for the GT-96010A are available today including the EV-96010A-RC featuring IDT's RC32364. Three new PHY modules are also available: EV-96010-10BT, providing a full-duplex 10BaseT Ethernet interface; EV-96010-V35 with a 2Mbps V.35 physical interface; and the EV-96010-RS449, with an RS449 interface which runs at speeds greater than 10Mbps.
