Press Release Summary:
Exhibiting 10 ps typical jitter performance at data transmission rates up to 3.125 Gbps, Model DS25CP104 low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) 4 x 4 crosspoint switch consumes only 122 mW per channel. It features 8 kV ESD protection and 100 W termination on LVDS I/O pins to minimize insertion losses, component count, and board space. Model DS10CP154 is targeted at applications up to 1.5 Gbps. Both are available in 40-pin LLP® packages.
Original Press Release:
National Semiconductor Introduces the Industry's Highest Performance LVDS 4 x 4 Crosspoint Switch
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - September 4, 2007 - A new low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS)4 x 4 crosspoint switch from National Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE:NSM) delivers the industry's best jitter performance (10 ps typical) at data transmission rates up to 3.125 Gbps. The DS25CP104 is well-suited for clock and data switching/routing in telecom, professional video, storage, and automated test equipment (ATE) applications. The low-power LVDS device's superior jitter and signal conditioning performance enables OEMs to use less costly cable, connectors, and components. National will demonstrate the DS25CP104 at the International Broadcasters Conference (IBC) in Amsterdam from September 7-11 at Hall 11, Booth # 441.
The DS25CP104 offers a feature set to enhance signal integrity in demanding applications such as XAUI (telecom) and SMPTE 424M (pro video). For example, the product consumes only 122 mW per channel while boosting and equalizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) or applications-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) signals over cables and FR-4 backplanes. The device inputs have a wide common-mode voltage range that allows it to accept low-voltage positive emitter coupled logic (LVPECL), current-mode logic (CML), and LVDS signal levels without using coupling capacitors. The system designer has maximum flexibility configuring the DS25CP104 with external pin control or a serial System Management (SM) Bus. The crosspoint also features 8 kV electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and 100 Ohm termination on the LVDS input and output pins to minimize insertion losses, component count and board space.
National also is introducing the DS10CP154, a lower speed, lower power 4 x 4 crosspoint switch targeted at applications up to 1.5 Gbps, and includes many of the same features as the DS25CP104.
