News Release from: LSI Europe | Subject: G90-based 12Gbit/s interface
Edited by the Electronicstalk Editorial Team on 21 June 2004
Serial interfaces scale up to 12Gbit/s
LSI Logic Corp has tested and validated 12Gbit/s high-speed serial interface circuits in its G90 90-nanometre process technology
LSI Logic's G90-based 12Gbit/s interface technology enables serialiser/deserialiser (serdes) cores with quadruple the bandwidth of existing backplanes and double the speed of planned 6Gbit/s backplane upgrades. This industry-leading solution is designed to meet the requirements of the emerging Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) CEI 11 - LR (long reach) standard and provides a leap in performance for storage systems, networking, and telecommunications applications.
