8.5-Gbit/s crosspoint handles 144 channels

Said to be the industry’s highest-capacity device, the VSC3144-08 8.5-Gbit/s 144 × 144-channel crosspoint switch delivers 1.224-Tbit/s switching capacity. Taking only 21 W, it features differential signal paths with protocol-independent operation, adjustable input signal equalization, and adjustable output pre-emphasis.

The fully nonblocking switch core of the chip is programmed using a multimode port interface that allows random-access programming of each I/O port. The IC comes in a 45 x 45-mm, 1.27-mm-pin-pitch, 1,072-pin BGA package. ($1,250 ea/high-volume qty — available now.)
