SANTA CLARA, USA: BroadLight, the leading supplier of GPON semiconductors and software, announced that it has been awarded patent number 7,583,904 by the US Patent Office for a "Transimpedance (TIA) circuit usable for burst mode communications."
The TIA circuit includes a TIA stage, a limiter-amplifier and a DC restoration loop. The invention allows enhanced distance between Central Office (OLT) and Customer Premises Equipment (ONT), helping to consolidate central office space and power.
“BroadLight has always been focused on improving our PON end-to-end design and put a special effort on innovative burst mode technology implementation, leveraging our leadership position in the PON IC market,” said Igor Elkanovich, VP VLSI of BroadLight. "Our incumbency position in all ITU-T PON deployments helped us in directing our design effort to bring state-of-the-art and highly integrated SoC solutions.”

Surprising gains in semicon sectors despite downturn
MOUNTAIN VIEW, USA: In spite of the downturn in communications semiconductor sales, some sectors revealed double-digit growth according to the latest market share numbers released by The Linley Group. Among the fastest growing product markets in 2008 were 10-Gigabit Ethernet NICs, switch fabrics, PON, and G.709/OTN.
"These findings support our forecast last year that even in a week economy, a number of growth opportunities still existed," said Joseph Byrne, senior analyst with The Linley Group. "We found that the five fastest growing companies in 2008 were AMCC, Broadcom, Intellon, PMC-Sierra, and Texas Instruments, with Broadcom growing across the board, particularly in Gigabit Ethernet and broadband."
Report highlights include:
* 10-Gigabit Ethernet NIC revenue grew 65 percent.
* Switch fabric revenue grew 49 percent.
* PON interface chip revenue grew 46 percent.
* G.709/OTN IC revenue grew 43 percent
* Double-digit growth was also reported in network processors (NPUs), voice-over-packet (VoP) processors, and embedded processors for storage systems.
Complete details are available in "Communications Semiconductor Market Share 2008" the latest report from The Linley Group, providing all new market-share data for more than 20 categories of wired communications semiconductors.
The report includes Ethernet products, broadband interface chips, embedded processors, network processors, interconnect chips, security accelerators, voice-over-packet (VoP) processors, FPGAs, and more. New in this edition are 10GbE controller chips for NIC and LAN on motherboard (LOM) applications, OTN chips, and 32-bit CPU IP.
