SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated
Device Technology, Inc. (IDT) (NASDAQ: IDTI) today announced
RapidIO® Gen3 interoperability with Xilinx UltraScale™
FPGAs, enabling a key technology for global rollout of 5G and other
advanced network systems. IDT RapidIO RXS switches, coupled with
Xilinx UltraScale FPGAs, deliver the essential combination of
ultra-low 100ns latency interconnect and programmable
computing with application-specific accelerators needed for 4G
advanced and 5G programs.
IDT has also developed a wireless data compression solution on
Xilinx Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoCs, which allows more data to
fit into a network fiber or link. This solution is targeted for
remote RapidIO units, repeaters, and base stations in the front
haul of networks to increase front haul capacity with compression
ratios ranging from 2:1 to 3:1. IDT has also developed
high-performance timing solutions on Xilinx devices, including IEEE
1588 high-performance time synchronization products to meet time
alignment error requirements between 5G RRUs in Cloud Radio Access
Networks (C-RAN).
Beyond 5G infrastructure challenges, IDT and Xilinx technologies
together solve problems in high-performance computing, hyperscale
cloud data centers, mobile edge computing and mission-critical
embedded systems.
"Our All Programmable technology has been in 3G and 4G network
deployments globally, and we have led many of the 5G pre-product
research initiatives, covering remote radio units, baseband
processing, and C-RAN deployments," said Farhad Shafai, vice president of communications
business at Xilinx. "Now, working closely with IDT, we can provide
even more value to our joint customers for the global rollout of
5G."
"IDT's strategy in 5G is focused on tackling the largest
obstacles--capacity, latency and time synchronization--with
silicon-level and software solutions that dramatically change the
end-user experience," said Sailesh
Chittipeddi, IDT's chief technology officer and vice
president of global operations. "Our innovations have been in
advance of network deployments, allowing for enhancement of user
experience with key products for 4G Advanced, LTE-Pro and 5G
developments."
"With this announcement IDT and Xilinx bring innovation that is
essential to the deployment of 5G networks," said Jag Bolaria,
principal analyst at the Linley Group, "Given the high cost of
developing these technologies internally, system OEMs benefit from
the solutions resulting from this industry collaboration, which
builds upon multiple generations of R&D and proven deployments
by the two companies."
The IDT technology is available now. IDT compression IP running
at 3:1 ratios in a Xilinx Zynq XC7Z045 FPGA was demonstrated by NAT
Europe and Fraunhofer at this year's Mobile World Congress. IDT and
Xilinx recently completed interoperability testing between IDT's
RXS family of RapidIO switches with Xilinx FPGAs at 10.3125 Gbaud
per lane. These FPGAs also support transceivers up to 32 Gbaud,
providing a path to scale to higher bandwidth connectivity. For
