Civcom Selects AMCC´s S19250 Transceiver For Small Form Factor 10?Gigabit MSA Transponders


    Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (NASDAQ:AMCC), a global leader in optical transport, embedded Power Architecture® processing and storage solutions, announced today that Civcom, a leading technology developer and manufacturer of opto–electronic components, modules and subsystems, has selected AMCC´s S19250 Transceiver device for its Small Form Factor (SFF) 10–Gigabit Multi–Service Agreement (MSA) Transponders.

    AMCC´s S19250 Transceiver chip is a fully integrated serialization/de–serialization SONET STS–192/OTU–2/10 GB Ethernet/Fiber Channel transceiver with Electronic Dispersion Compensation (EDC) capability. The device not only can operate in a wide range of data rates while meeting stringent telecom jitter requirement but it can also compensate for channel impairments caused by Single Mode Fiber (SMF) with relatively low power consumption. The AMCC chip performs all necessary parallel–to–serial and serial–to–parallel functions in conformance with SONET/SDH/OTN, 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel (10 G FC) transmission standards.

    "AMCC´s S19250 provides the features, integration, and functions we require for Civcom´s new family of Free Light DWDM equipment," said Yair Itzhar, VP of Marketing & Sales at Civcom. "AMCC´s S19250 empowers us to deliver cost–effective SFF MSA compliant products with high–performance, high reliability and high availability. Integrating this device into our tunable SFF transponders enables Civcom to provide our customers with everything they need to build the best carrier and enterprise network solutions for a wide variety of applications."

    Civcom´s new line of Tunable SFF 10G 300PIN MSA transponders are designed for long–reach DWDM applications and expand upon the company´s existing Free Light TM family of tunable transponders, offering equipment manufacturers the high performance they require in a cost–effective SFF device. Civcom´s 10G SFF interface is compatible with the 300–pin MSA and I2C interface. The SFF transponder uses a widely tunable laser covering the entire C–Band over distances up to 80 kilometers. Availability in either a Lithium Niobate or Indium Phosphide modulator gives manufacturers the flexibility to choose optimal solutions based on customer needs.

    "We are pleased to have been selected by Civcom for their new advanced SFF MSA tunable transponder. Civcom is clearly a strong driver in the tunable transponder market and the S19250 enables their new SFF MSA products to deliver high–performance and flexibility for their customers," said Neal Neslusan, Director of Marketing at AMCC. "Customer wins of this nature validate the leadership position of AMCC´s transport product line and the investments AMCC is making to develop the critical PHY technologies to enable cost effective solutions at 10G and beyond."
