Infineon Ships 40 Gbps (OC-768) Chip

Infineon Technologies shipped multifunctional single-chip solution for high-speed line cards that can perform both interface conversion and serializer/deserializer (SerDes) operations. Infineon's Titan 768MD could be used in 40 Gbps OC-768 line cards to perform SerDes Framer Interface Level 4 (SFI-4)-to-Level 5 (SFI-5) interface conversion. When performing narrowband SFI-5-to-SFI-4 conversion, 40 Gbps data throughput can be achieved in both directions across a network while leveraging investments in 10 Gbps framers. In addition, the Titan 768MD can perform inverse multiplexing of the OC-768c payload from a router. Infineon said the new device could also be used with a high-speed framer and pointer processor to provide a two-chip OC-768 solution for line cards operating at a 40 Gbps throughput.
