New milestone for Fibre Channel controller ICs
Agilent Technologies has shipped more than 4 million Tachyon Fibre Channel controller ICs since production began in 1995.
They offer OEMs both high levels of performance and reduced board space and costs.
Fibre Channel controllers perform the critical task of protocol processing and control in disk arrays, HBAs and bridge and router products.
Agilent's 2Gbit/s Tachyon DX2 controller, the HPFC-5400A, processes two data streams within a single chip.
It requires no external memory and supports the high-performance PCI-X bus architecture.
The Agilent Tachyon controller's proven state machine architecture scales proportionately with system CPU resources to avoid performance bottlenecks associated with on-chip processors.
The Tachyon architecture allows simultaneous, parallel processing of inbound data, outbound data, and hardware control and commands to maximise bandwidth and minimise latency and I/O overhead. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
