Search accelerator upgraded to 20Mbit
New 20Mbit search accelerator is a high-performance, low-power, cost-effective packet header processing product for large table support in enterprise, metro- and carrier-class switches and routers
IDT has brought out its high-density, 20Mbit search accelerator, a high-performance, low-power, cost-effective packet-header-processing product for large table support in enterprise, metro- and carrier-class switches and routers. The 20Mbit device delivers one billion searches per second enabling customers to solve complex network challenges such as quad-play-ready network applications, increasing security and access control, and support of broader address spaces, while still maintaining high availability bandwidth for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.

Interconnect cuts demands on handset processors
Synchronous Mobile Multimedia Interconnect is fully optimised for multimedia applications in high-end mobile handsets and personal digital assistant devices
Equipment providers that implemented the 5 or 10Mbit search accelerators from IDT can easily adopt the IDT 20Mbit device because it is both pin and software compatible with the lower density options, enabling customers to preserve their hardware and software investments.
The new device is strongly supported by a diverse ecosystem of network processor and Ethernet switch vendors who have adopted the unique interface from IDT to ensure seamless interoperability.
And, as with the lower density devices that came before it, the 20Mbit search accelerator comes with a highly-integrated software package and evaluation system that enables easy programming and early testing.

Third generation memory buffer family offers the lowest power consumption available in the industry today - up to 40% power savings over competing AMB offerings
This reduces implementation costs, shortens time to market, and protects the end-user's software investment.
In response to strict system-level availability and uptime requirements from leading service providers, the new high density device implements enhanced error detection and correction (ECC).
As with its lower density cousins, ECC is used to ensure data integrity while providing the most reliable search solution in the market.
To ensure the thermal requirements of customers are met, the 20Mbit device also offers advanced power-saving features such as dynamic database management and iterative entry searching.
These techniques work in tandem to selectively reduce the number of entries being searched during table look-ups to reduce power consumption by up to 75 %.
