Lattice Semiconductor Announces Industry's Lowest Power 10 Gbps SERDES
New eXtended Performance I/O (XPIO(TM)) transceiver features extremely
low power consumption
HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 23, 2003--
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq:LSCC), the leader in
programmable SERDES technology, today announced the availability of
the industry's lowest power 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps) SERDES
transceiver based on 0.13-micron CMOS technology. Designed for SONET
OC-192 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, the XPIO 110GXS consumes
only 0.8 Watts of power and supports optical transponder modules such
as the 300-pin Multi Source Agreement (MSA) as well as those for 10
Gigabit small form-factor pluggable (XFP) applications. The high
performance transceiver meets both SONET and Ethernet jitter
requirements.
"The addition of our first eXtended Performance I/O device further
demonstrates Lattice's leadership position in the SERDES market," said
Stan Kopec, vice president of corporate marketing at Lattice
Semiconductor. "As the market leader in high-speed SERDES-based
programmable devices with our Field Programmable System Chip (FPSC)
product family, Lattice is fully committed to delivering the most
complete portfolio of innovative FPGA and FPSC solutions at 10 Gbps,
and the XPIO 110GXS device is our next step toward achieving this
objective."
Previous Lattice FPSC devices, such as the ORSO82G5 and ORT82G5,
support 10 Gbps traffic using four channels of 2.5 to 3.125 Gbps
SERDES, depending on the encoding/decoding scheme utilized. The new
XPIO device generates and receives 10 Gbps clock / data streams (full
duplex) utilizing CML signaling over a single channel, reducing the
number of connections needed.
Offering a continuous operating range from 9.953 to 10.709 Gbps,
the low-power transceiver is ideally suited for SONET OC-192 and 10
Gigabit Ethernet applications. Lattice's new device can also be used
in 200-pin MSA- or 300-pin MSA-based optical transponder modules. The
device supports 16:1 serialization and 1:16 deserialization with a
parallel LVDS data range from 622 to 670 Mbps supporting the Optical
Internetworking Forum's SFI-4.1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet's XSBI
standards. An on-chip low-jitter PLL generates all required clocks
based on an external reference clock of 155.52 MHz or 622.08 MHz. The
integrated limiting amplifier further enhances design flexibility and
improves the bit-error rate.
The device achieves its extremely low power consumption through a
combination of advanced 0.13-micron CMOS technology, reduced 1.3V core
and 2.5V I/O voltages, and proprietary circuit design techniques. As a
result, the devices typically consume only 0.8 Watts when operating at
10 Gbps, lower than any competitive transceivers currently available
or announced.
Price and Availability
Samples of the XPIO 110GXS device are available now, with volume
production scheduled for the second half of 2003. The device is
packaged in an easy-to-use 15mm x 15mm, 269-ball flip-chip BGA
package. Prices for the device are projected to start at $79.00 in
5,000 piece quantities for delivery in the first half of 2004. The
ordering part number is XPIO 110GXS-01CF269C.
XPIO 110GXS evaluation kits are available through authorized
Lattice distributors at a price of $4999.
