CAMARILLO, USA: Vitesse Semiconductor Corp. unveiled another innovation to its industry-leading signal integrity portfolio with the availability of the VSC3316, a new 16-port asynchronous crosspoint switch with enhanced FlexEQ signal equalization capabilities.
The VSC3316 is the highest speed crosspoint available with 16 lanes, each with the ability to operate independently from DC up to 11.5 Gbps. Housed in the industry’s smallest available 15mm x 15mm footprint for this size switch matrix, the VSC3316 enables new possibilities to expand line card and switch card bandwidth by 75 percent over existing solutions while overcoming legacy backplane signal integrity issues.
The device is ideal for transmitting multi-gigabit data signals over printed circuit boards, backplane connectors, and copper cabling used across a range of communications equipment including Core and Metro routers, blade servers, network storage equipment, broadcast video routers, and physical layer switches.
“Telecom, datacomm, networking, and Ethernet protocols are all converging at the 10 Gbps node, requiring high-performance signal integrity products to route, switch and clean up these signals at rates up to 11.5Gbps,” said Juan Garza, product marketing manager for Vitesse.
“With a long-standing history of delivering products with unique capabilities such as the VSC3316, Vitesse clearly understands this migration and is uniquely positioned to enable customers to create devices that the marketplace demands.”
Unique feature set
Capable of 11.5 Gbps per lane bandwidth, the VSC3316 includes detection/transmission of signal (LOS) providing native Out-of-Band (OOB) support of SAS/SATA storage protocols. This architecture also provides protocol transparent operation, thereby allowing each channel to run independently.
Supporting the latest high-speed protocols, Vitesse’s VSC3316 supports a wide frequency range encompassing virtually all data protocols including Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), XAUI, Reduced XAUI (RXAUI), 10GBASE-KR, SAS, SATA, 1G/2G/4G/8G/10G Fibre Channel, PCIe Gen 1/2/3 and InfiniBand.
The combined functions of crosspoint switching and Vitesse’s leading FlexEQ adaptive equalization technology make the VSC3316 a highly cost-effective, low-power signal integrity tool useful wherever there are high-speed signals.
The VSC3316 incorporates a broadband, fully non-blocking and multicasting switch core and flexible fourth-generation equalization and pre-emphasis I/O capability. Offering maximum architectural flexibility in switching and routing connections, the device can perform signal fan-out, loop-back and protection switching while also regenerating signals otherwise compromised by losses in the transmission medium.
Vitesse’s FlexEQ adaptive equalization capability works independently of the data rate, providing highly effective compensation for deterministic jitter across a wide range of operating conditions without requiring re-tuning.
World-class signal integrity
Vitesse was first to introduce integrated signal equalization in crosspoints switches and now has nearly a decade of successful product developments and dozens of products in production.
With the introduction of dual time constant equalization, Vitesse’s latest-generation FlexEQ technology enables a new level of signal integrity engineering. FlexEQ adaptive equalization technology allows the system designer to compensate for multiple impairments in the signal path, such as connectors and cabling or skin effect and dielectric losses in PCB traces.
FlexEQ also provides a significantly wider compensation range, so a single device can be used in multiple applications, from PCB traces to backplanes to copper cabling. Learn more about FlexEQ at www.vitesse.com/flexeq.
Pricing and availability
The VSC3316 operates on a single 2.5V supply with a typical per-channel power dissipation of 200mW and is available in a high-density 15mm x 15mm, 196-pin PBGA package. General samples are available now, with volume pricing available upon request.

Huawei, NEC, NeoPhotonics and Source Photonics join Vitesse led FTTX technology ecosystem
SHENZHEN, CHINA: Vitesse Semiconductor Corp., a leading provider of advanced IC solutions for carrier and enterprise networking, announced a substantial expansion of its FTTX (Fiber-to-the-Home, Building or Premise) Technology Ecosystem with the addition of four industry-leading system, component and module vendors: Huawei Technologies, NEC Electronics, NeoPhotonics and Source Photonics.
The Ecosystem is a forum for companies across the entire passive optical network (PON) hardware spectrum to work together to accelerate the deployment of next-generation 10G-PON FTTX platforms. These four new organizations join technology innovators such as Cyoptics, Emcore, ETRI, NEC, Teknovus, ZTE and Vitesse.
New FTTX Technology Ecosystem members
Huawei is a world-leading telecom solutions provider focused on building long-term partnerships with telecom operators. Huawei’s products and solutions are deployed in over 100 countries and serve 36 of the world’s top 50 operators, as well as over one billion users worldwide.
“We are delighted to contribute towards the Ecosystem’s growing PON technology expertise,” said Jiang Zuoqian, vice president, access network product line, Huawei Technologies. “Vitesse and Huawei have an extensive working relationship in developing technically advanced network solutions. With our leading network product solutions, Huawei is committed to delivering high-quality next-generation FTTX deployments.”
Source Photonics provides a broad array of optical transceiver solutions for telecom and datacom networks, including modules for PON deployments with its optical subsystem products used in Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) deployments.
“It has always been Source Photonics’ commitment to promote and deliver high-performance and cost-effective fiber optic components and subsystems for FTTX applications. This continues with the development of next-generation PON solutions. The collaboration with Vitesse is an essential element in supporting and ensuring proven interoperability with systems and component solutions, while meeting demanding time-to-market expectations,” stated Thomas Liljeberg, senior vice president of product development and product line management of Source Photonics.
NeoPhotonics currently has an extensive portfolio of GPON and EPON transceivers for FTTP applications and is one of the highest volume manufacturers of optical access transceivers.
“We are pleased to work with Vitesse to embody our commitment to innovation and technology leadership in next-gen optical access components. Joining the 10G-PON ecosystem will enable us to work closely with leading technology companies to collectively address and advance development of next-generation, end-to-end, passive optical networking (PON) systems for FTTX applications,” said Chris Pfistner, vice president of product marketing at NeoPhotonics.
NEC Electronics has long been a leading innovator and manufacture of high-speed opto-electronics. The company presently provides complete TOSA, ROSA, and BOSA optical assemblies, along with subcomponents into many of today’s deployed PON systems.
“Given the module-level focus at CIOE this year, this announcement solidifies a number of leading vendors for this round of the FTTX Technology Ecosystem expansion,” said Gary Paules, Vitesse product marketing manager. “In addition, we are very happy to have leading PON system vendor Huawei join the Ecosystem. Vitesse is dedicated to helping drive the deployment of next-generation PON deployments worldwide by coordinating close working relationships among our stellar group of Ecosystem members.”
CIOE/FTTX China PON Demonstration
Along with selected Ecosystem members, Vitesse will demonstrate various PON solutions at CIOE/FTTH China. At the Vitesse CIOE booth (#4352), Teknovus and Vitesse will demo Teknovus’ true burst-mode symmetric 10G-EPON solutions.
Additionally, Vitesse will present technical developments and trends in FTTX and next-generation networks during “FTTX and Next-Generation Optical Access Network Technology” on September 7, 2009, from 14:40-15:00 in the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center (fifth floor of Rose Hall-3).
