IDT and Texas Instruments Development Platform Enables Higher Performance and Faster Time to Market for 3G Wireless Base Station Designs

IDT™, announced achievement of full interoperability between the IDT pre-processing switch (PPS) and the highest performance digital signal processors (DSP) from Texas Instruments (TI). Through this strong collaboration, both IDT and TI developed a robust 3G base station development platform that speeds customer time to market by jumpstarting mission critical software programming and enabling rapid, early prototyping.

Enables Customers to Jumpstart Software Programming and Facilitate Early Prototyping

The AMC70K2000 development platform — jointly created by IDT and TI — offers a diverse mix of hardware options and software tailored for baseband processing demonstrations and development. The offering includes an AMC and all of the software necessary for rapid setup, initialization, and on-siteevaluation of the PPS capabilities. The platform enables realistic case studies for moving tasks and operations from the DSPs to the PPS and observing the system responses. The AMC deploys four fabric-connected TI DSPs (TMS320C6455/6482) and the IDT PPS (70K2000) offering a RapidIO interface of 40 lanes and 22 ports; accelerating each DSP in a cluster by up to 20 percent.
