Applied Micro Circuits Corporation, or AppliedMicro
(Nasdaq: AMCC), today announced the world’s fastest CMOS transmitter ICs
for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing line-side applications, which
support power-efficient, cost-effective deployments in 100-Gigabit per
second optical metro, regional and long-haul networks. With line rates
up to 31.8Gbps per channel, AppliedMicro’s S28032 DQPSK Mux chips pave
the way for wide-scale deployment in 100G DWDM Optical Transport
Networks (OTN) as operators increasingly seek higher bandwidth solutions
and greater network density.

CMOS ICs provide a scalable high-volume, low-power solution for ramping
100G deployments. AppliedMicro’s S28032 provides a flexible interface to
connect either FPGAs or ASICS running hard or soft-decision FEC
(Forward-Error Correction) on a 10 or 20-lane SFI-S bus to optical
drivers for PM-QPSK and other DWDM optical systems. The S28032 supports
line rates from 27Gbps through 31.8Gbps for applications with 7%, 15% or
20% FEC overhead.
Early access partners, who represent significant market share, are
passing traffic error-free in the lab in preparation for field trials.
Their bring-up has occurred in record time. Carriers and network
operators will see next generation DWDM systems featuring the S28032
early in 2013.
“Our previously announced Gearbox product set the bar for performance in
100GBASE-LR4 applications, supporting ODB (optical duo-binary)
pre-coding for metro networks,” said George Jones, Vice President of
Connectivity Solutions at APM. “Our new S28032 extends AppliedMicro’s
leadership position in 100G CMOS PHY products to the DWDM network for
metro, regional and long-haul 100Gbps applications.”
Evaluation boards and AppliedMicro’s S28032 are sampling now to select
customers. Production quantities are expected in the second half of this
year.
