Completes world’s lowest cost chip set for Gigabit applications |
|
Bristol, England, December 12th, 2008 - Nanotech Semiconductor Limited ("Nanotech"), a fabless IC company specializing in advanced Analog & Mixed-Signal ICs for fiber based communications applications, today announced availability of its latest pure-CMOS ICs, the NT24L71 and NT24L73. The NT24L7x, manufactured in low cost standard 0.18u CMOS, are available in QSOP16 [24L71] and MSOP10 [24L73] packages, and are pin-compatible with ICs manufactured by Maxim, Micrel and iCreate. Both ICs support both 3.3v and 5v supplies, with 34mA total current consumption including output loading. The ICs feature a glitch-free loss of signal status output and signal squelch function. Typical output rise & fall times of 100ps and 2mV sensitivity easily meet all applications requirements, and exceptional 3kV ESD immunity on all pins is testament to the ruggedness of modern CMOS processes. Together with the now industry-standard NT24L50 1.25Gbps TIA and the NT22L31 Laser Driver, this completes the pure-CMOS 3-chip set for 1.25Gbps applications.

| David Khalifa, VP Sales, commented: “This chip set offers customers exactly what they need in terms of reliability, repeatability, shortest manufacturing lead-times, easy 2nd -sourcing and at the most competitive price in volume. In addition, in the New Year Nanotech will be introducing the world's most cost-effective Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (‘DDMI') solution based on this chipset.” Gary Steele, CEO, added: "Like our earlier MOST ® , Fast-Ethernet, OC-3 and OC-12 chipsets, creating a pure-CMOS chipset for Gigabit Ethernet is the sure fire way to bring the highest quality, yet lowest cost solution to the market. And in the present troubled economic times this new chipset offers the security of supply and peace of mind associated with fabrication at the world's largest independent wafer foundry, and production-test at the worlds' largest independent test house" SFP and other standard reference board designs are available now, free of charge, on application. Contact Nanotech for more information on our complete DDMI (SFF-8472) reference design & software. |
