AMCC's Next-Generation SONET/SDH Framer/Pointer Processor Devices Deliver Major Cost Savings in Metro/Edge-based MSPP Designs
Applied Micro Circuits Corporation announced the company's next-generation SONET/SDH framer/pointer processor devices, Drava (S4809) and Mura (S4819). The level of integration in Drava and Mura reduces overall system costs for customers by as much as 50 percent. This is made possible by eliminating the need for an external SERDES and an FPGA device that provide user-programmable client transparency services.
AMCC's Drava and Mura Solutions Offer Unmatched Integration and Line Rate Flexibility
Drava and Mura each integrate multi-rate SONET/SDH SERDES, switching, enhanced ring protection and transparency services into a single device. AMCC has incorporated analog macros and complex digital functions into these System-On-a-Chip (SOC) solutions, which meet all of the requirements of SONET/SDH standards and the rigorous demands of its customers, by leveraging its proven mixed-signal design expertise.
Drava and Mura are ideally designed for 5G and lower line card applications requiring framer/pointer processing functions, in particular the Multi Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP) and Optical Cross-Connect markets. Both devices provide unmatched complete overhead transparency services, including user-programmable remapping features, enabling the preservation of unique carrier switching and control management services.
