Business Wire
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (Nasdaq: CY), the industry leader in
SRAMs, today announced that ZTE Corporation, a leading global
provider of telecommunications equipment and network solutions, has
selected Cypress’s QDR™II+ (Quad Data Rate™) SRAM devices for the
new ZXCME 9500 series of Ethernet switches. Cypress’s 65-nm 72-Mbit
QDRII+ SRAMs deliver the market’s fastest available clock speed of
up to 550 MHz, feature the market’s broadest portfolio of device
options, and are supported by the industry’s most extensive network
of reference designs.
In addition to Ethernet switches, the 72-MBit devices are ideal
for Internet core and edge routers, 3G base stations, secure
routers and also enhance the performance of medical imaging and
military signal processing systems. The devices are pin compatible
with 90-nm SRAMs, enabling networking customers to increase
performance and port density while maintaining the same board
layout.
“The excellent speed and low latency of Cypress’s SRAMs are
instrumental in the outstanding performance that the ZXCME 9500
series offers our customers,” said Li Hongqi, product development
manager at ZTE. “Cypress has a well established history as a leader
in SRAM technology, making them a supplier we trust for multiple
products.”
“When leading networking companies such as ZTE choose our SRAMs,
we know that we are providing winning products,” said David
Kranzler, Vice President of Sync and Timing Products at Cypress.
“Cypress was first to market with 65-nm SRAM devices, proof of our
commitment to supporting the SRAM market long-term and to building
on our leadership position.”
The ZXCME 9500 series Metro Ethernet products offer
carrier-class bearing and transport of multiple services, mainly
positioned at the core/aggregation layer of a Metro Network. The
series features an advanced distributed and modular architecture
and design, and uses large-capacity switching fabric. With a
maximum backplane bandwidth of 2.52 Tbps, the ZXCME 9500 series
products offer fast protection switchover and redundant backup of
key modules and power supply to provide a 100-percent reliable
network operating platform.
Compared with their 90-nm predecessors, the 65-nm QDR SRAMs
reduce operating power by 40 percent. The QDRII+ devices feature an
On-Die Termination (ODT) option, which improves signal integrity,
reduces system cost, and saves board space by eliminating external
termination resistors. The 65-nm devices use a Phase Locked Loop
(PLL) instead of a Delay Locked Loop (DLL), which enables a 35
percent wider data valid window, thereby reducing system
development time and expense for the customer.
