(AMCC) = (Nasdaq:AMCC) today announced the availability of the Mekong (S19204), the = industry's first highly integrated OC-192 SONET/SDH framing and pointer pro= cessor device with on-chip features critical for next generation optical ne= tworking equipment. Mekong is a multi-feature integrated circuit enabling= customers to collapse multiple functions down to one chip, including aggre= gation, pointer processing and grooming functions. Mekong is complemented b= y AMCC's best-in-class CMOS Serializers/Deserializers (SERDES), Forward Err= or Correction (FEC) devices and switch fabric devices, to provide an end-to= -end chip set solution (See figure 1) that meets the power, cost and space = requirements of new intelligent optical networking equipment. "Mekong's a= bility to re-map section and line overhead or transparently pass-thru all T= OH (Transport Overhead) bytes (Standard and Reserved bytes), with pointer p= rocessing enabled, on incoming SONET/SDH signals enables intelligent optica= l networking equipment to provide performance monitoring and support switch= ing/routing decisions on incoming fibers. This can all be done while provid= ing full transparent processing of client interfaces over private DWDM netw= orks and public networks," said Mark Donovan, AMCC's Mekong senior product = marketing manager. "By designing the device to interface seamlessly with AM= CC's popular OC-48 transceiver and OC-192 SERDES and 10G digital wrapper/FE= C solutions, we're further contributing to the company's overall system sol= ution approach and reducing our customer's time-to-market." Mekong also s= upports a variety of line interfaces for reducing system and board design r= equirements. For OC-48 interfaces Mekong supports 4-bit wide 622 Mbits/s in= terfaces, to enable seamless connections to AMCC's S3455 SERDES device. For= OC-192 applications, Mekong provides 16-bit 622 Mbits/s interfaces for sea= mless connections to AMCC's 16-bit S3097/98 SERDES devices. Mekong's OC-192= interfaces are also designed for direct connection to AMCC's 10G digital w= rapper/FEC Hudson device. Mekong is AMCC's next generation framer/pointer= processor device that enables the aggregation of four OC-48s into a larger= OC-192 signal, or if used in conjunction with AMCC's Danube framer/pointer= processor device, the aggregation of up to sixty-four OC-3s, sixteen OC-12= s or logical combinations of OC-3, OC-12 and OC-48 asynchronous interfaces = into a larger OC-192 signal (See figures 2 and 3). Mekong provides standard= SONET/SDH pointer processing, and in addition, can transparently re-map th= e incoming OC-48 and OC-192 signals TOH across time domains and into the ou= tgoing higher rate signal. Mekong also supports a pass-thru mode, where all= TOH bytes (Standard and Reserved bytes) can be passed through Mekong, with= pointer processing enabled, to enable full transparency across time domain= s. As a result, when AMCC's Danube is used in conjunction with Mekong, opti= cal networking equipment vendors can offer service providers full transpare= ncy from OC-3 to OC-192 rates. Mekong can also perform the same functions i= n an OC-192-to-OC-192 mode. Enabled by the device's two APS ports, Mekong= provides protection switching and redundancy in both the multiplex and dem= ultiplex directions and incorporates non-intrusive TOH monitoring for all i= nputs. The single-chip device features two built-in hitless Time Slot Inter= change switches (TSIs), to provide STS-1 level traffic grooming, cross-conn= ection, and add/drop applications. When used in conjunctions with AMCC's re= cently announced Zambezi, an 80G STS-1 level switch fabric device, the Meko= ng/Zambezi solution can serve as the first and Nth stage switch elements in= a N-stage Clos switch fabric architecture (See figure 4). Mekong also offe= rs a provisional pointer processor bypass mode for STS-192-to-STS-192 opera= tion (through-timing); both a full framer bypass (no frame regeneration) as= well as a pointer processor bypass (frame regeneration enabled) are also p= rovided. Mekong also supports large deksew buffers in the multiplex directi= on for STS-192c inverse multiplexing applications. A high-speed microproces= sor interface is provided for configuration and monitoring. Mekong also sup= ports POH (B3/J1/G1/C2) monitoring, Full TOH drop and insert ports and robu= st alarm monitoring functions to provide the highest in OC-192 SONET/SDH in= tegration and functionality for optical and DWDM equipment. "Mekong's fea= ture-rich architecture and flexibility allows for multiple use in DWDM, Met= ro DWDM, digital cross-connects, multi-service access switches and core swi= tch platforms," said Neal Neslusan, AMCC's marketing director of transport = products. "It is well suited for Optical-Electrical-Optical (OEO) switching= applications where grooming wavelengths from the optical network and suppo= rting electrical SONET/SDH signal switching is required." Pricing and Ava= ilability The Mekong (S19204) is scheduled for sampling to development par= tners in August, with volume production scheduled for Q4 2001. Packaged in = a 624 CBGA, the device is priced at $775.00 in volume quantities.
