IPtronics Offers New Low Cost Silicon

IPtronics offers a new single channel IC solution with wide usage possibilities

Menlo Park, CA October 2010

IPtronics is pleased to announce availability of the IPTA10G2CS TIA and IPVD10G2CS VCSEL Driver for new applications.

The chip set, realized in a high performance, yet cost competitive technology, enables optical module and –cable applications such as Light Peak implementation as well as single channel optical links up to 14 Gbps.

The chip set has been designed for consumer applications such as Light Peak, meaning high volume and very low cost, and can be used in all optical links requiring a high speed VCSEL Driver and TIA/LIA.

Besides Light Peak, the devices can be used in a plethora of applications such as, but not limited to, SFP+ replacement cables, SFP+ transceivers, data center point  to point cables, proprietary links in both consumer and data center applications and much more. Specifically, the devices will be able to address 4GFC, 8GFC and10GbE, but also 16GFC once this market matures, providing for a seamless transition path for current and future speeds

“With the new chip set we are meeting the very aggressive cost and volume targets set out for consumer programs, such as Light Peak. In addition to that, we have found innovative ways of addressing low power requirements as well as multiple protocols making the chip set a unique fit for a multitude of applications requiring low cost, high volume optical links. Furthermore, this will enable our customers to make a single platform addressing multiple applications and thereby cost optimize their product portfolio, said Steen Gundersen, VP Sales”

IPtronics remains committed to the Light Peak program and have dedicated 1st silicon solely for this application. Samples with added functionality targeted at SFP+ applications will become available shortly.  Please contact us for details on availability.

The chip set is offered with evaluation platforms, reference designs and full documentation.
