Industry's smallest, lowest-cost GbE PHY reduces networking switch
power by 30% MILPITAS, Calif., May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LSI
Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today announced a new generation of gigabit
Ethernet (GbE) PHY silicon technology for server, desktop, mobile
and networking switch applications. Now in its fourth generation,
the LSI(TM) Energy-Efficient GbE PHY provides the industry's
lowest-power GbE technology in the smallest size, enabling OEMs to
dramatically reduce chip count, energy consumption and bill of
materials cost. Escalating power costs and upcoming ENERGY STAR(R)
compliance guidelines from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
and Department of Energy are driving IT and telecommunications
equipment manufacturers to build more power-efficient products.
Substantial economies in energy consumption can be achieved by the
deployment of "multi-rate" devices, which are capable of ramping
down during periods of inactivity. The LSI Energy-Efficient GbE PHY
transitions to low-power mode in the absence of data traffic, yet
immediately returns to full speed when traffic resumes. Because
online traffic continues to escalate, both high performance and low
power consumption are essential to the mass deployment of
next-generation, energy-efficient Ethernet networks. The LSI GbE
PHY is capable of reducing Ethernet switch power consumption by
more than 30 percent, and it is available now for implementation in
custom integrated designs. It is also backward compatible with
existing Ethernet standards, which allows for rapid migration.
"Private enterprises and government agencies can meet the demands
of growing network traffic and impending federal guidelines by
accelerating their plans to upgrade to high-performance, low-energy
networks," said Jim Anderson, vice president of geographic sales
and marketing, Semiconductor Solutions Group, LSI. "Our customers
are implementing the new LSI GbE PHY to meet those demands today."
More information on the new GbE PHY and other LSI products will be
available in booth Surf A - 1973 of the Interop Conference in the
Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nev., May 17-21, 2009.
