Business Wire
Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (NASDAQ: AMCC), a global leader
in optical transport, embedded Power Architecture� processing, and
storage solutions today announced successful interoperability
testing of the QT2025 physical layer (PHY) IC family at the
University of New Hampshire�s Interoperability Lab (UNH-IOL). The
QT2025-1 PHY passed the interoperability testing with all
10GBASE-SR and 10GBASE-LR SFP+ optical modules. The QT2025 PHY
passed its testing for 10GBASE-KR backplane applications. The two
separate test events were organized by the Ethernet Alliance�
SFP+/EDC Subcommittee and the Backplane Ethernet Subcommittee at
UNH-IOL. AMCC will demonstrate QT2025 and QT2025-1 Tuesday through
Thursday in conjunction with the Ethernet Alliance in booth #1567
at the Interop� conference. The SFP+ interoperability tests covered
both the transmitter and receiver performance of the QT2025-1
interfacing to both 10GBASE-SR and -LR SFP+ modules from seven
different module vendors. The QT2025-1 exceeded the transmit mask
requirements with all the SR/LR modules and operated with no errors
for the duration of the test with all of the receiving modules. "I
am pleased with the success AMCC has shown in the UNH-IOL 10Gbps
SFP+ PHY testing," said Marco Mazzini of Cisco and the Technical
Champion of the Ethernet Alliance SFP+/EDC Subcommittee.
"The�results from the interoperability event�show viability of�next
generation�high density 10 Gigabit Ethernet equipment." Testing for
IEEE� 802.3ap was conducted at UNH-IOL during�a recent Plug-Fest
organized by the Ethernet Alliance Backplane Ethernet Subcommittee.
The QT2025 successfully passed the interoperability testing of
10GBASE-KR backplane interfaces. Testing of the QT2025�s
1000BASE-KX and auto-negotiation features are planned for a future
event. �The successful interoperability testing of AMCC's QT2025
and QT20215-1 is another milestone in preparing silicon for the
10GBASE-KR and SFP+ markets,� said Jag Bolaria, Senior Analyst at
the Linley Group. �Both of these markets promise volume growth in
the coming year and AMCC is well-positioned to take advantage of
that growth with its 10Gbps Ethernet PHY family.� About the QT2025
family The QT2025 and the QT2025-1 integrate 10 Gbps serial-to-XAUI
Ethernet processing with high-performance electronic dispersion
compensation (EDC). The QT2025-1 is used in 1 and 10 Gbps Ethernet
and Fibre Channel applications based on X2, XENPAK and SFP+ optical
transceiver modules or direct attach copper cables. The QT2025 is
used in 1 and 10 Gbps backplane Ethernet applications and is
equipped with auto-negotiation and 10GBASE-KR forward error
correction (FEC). About AMCC AMCC provides leadership semiconductor
