Semiconductor solutions provider, Mindspeed Technologies displays its HD video semiconductor solutions at the IBC 2010 Show in Amsterdam. These semiconductor solutions are designed for the fiber-access infrastructure and broadcast-station equipment.
The company’s M21170 crosspoint switch was featured at the show. The M21170 creates a 288x288 non-blocking matrix, by replacing four 144x144 cascaded crosspoints, for the switching core of a router. By quadrupling the core matrix, the switching capacity is doubled. This allows users to route considerably more serial data streams, while minimizing the complexity, cost, and size of the broadcast video routing switchers and optical transport switches.
In addition, Mindspeed showcased the M21004 2x2 equalizer and switch for use in backplane traces and long printed circuit board. This crosspoint switch can run up to 3.2 Gbps, and it is ideal for Serial Digital Interface (SDI) applications.
The low-power SDI components, and 144x144 crosspoint switch were also displayed at the IBC 2010 Show. Mindspeed demonstrated its optical physical media devices, such as limiting amplifiers, receiver optical subassembly components, and laser drivers. Other products on display, from the company, were the signal integrity and crosspoint solutions.
