IDT reckons its 128Kx72 (75K62100) full-ternary Internet protocol (IP) coprocessor is capable of the industry's fastest and widest search performance currently available. The device incorporates a suite of advanced management features that improve system performance and reduce power consumption. The new 128Kx72 IP co-processor is the third member of IDT's full-featured, pin- and software-compatible family, joining the 75P42100 (32Kx72) and 75P52100 (64Kx72) devices introduced last year.

IDT will complete the family in September 2002, with the addition of a 256Kx72 IP coprocessor.

IDT offers the industry's only family of IP coprocessors with a seamless upgrade path from a 32Kx72 to a 256Kx72 device.

The new 128Kx72 IP coprocessor performs up to 100 million searches per second and uses an innovative reissue feature that eliminates extraneous clock cycles during multiple database searches to allow up to 576bit wide sustained searches at maximum device speed.

IDT's IP coprocessors offer innovative system-oriented power and advanced management techniques that reduce CPU cycles and assist in uniform multipath routing for significant performance and maintenance improvements.

Designers using the dynamically controlled power features can achieve up to a 60% reduction of power consumption in actual application environments.

In tandem with these devices, IDT helps accelerate equipment manufacturers' time-to-market by providing HDL code to support FPGA- and ASIC-based programs, as well as software tools to support NPU-based designs.

Based on the integration of content addressable memory (CAM) and high-performance logic, IDT's IP coprocessors support network processor units and ASICs to accelerate deep packet classification and forwarding in core, metro and access routers.
