Products
SAN JOSE, Calif. & SINGAPORE--(Business Wire)--
Avago Technologies (Nasdaq:AVGO), a leading supplier of analog interface
components for communications, industrial, and consumer applications, today
announced that it provided critical IP to Juniper Networks to enable the
development of the company`s high-performance silicon devices. These new Juniper
designs are part of the Junos Trio chipset that enables the delivery of
Juniper`s MX-3D platforms.
Each device features close to 100 SerDes channels and is capable of driving a
lossy backplane channel and multiple backplane connectors. In addition to
exhibiting `best-in-class` crosstalk and jitter performance, Avago`s unique
decision feedback equalization (DFE) and modular architectures enable
high-density, low-power solutions, which are critical in today`s demanding
applications.
"Avago`s multi-gigabit SerDes cores meet our stringent performance
requirements," said R.K. Anand, executive vice president of Foundation
Technologies at Juniper Networks. "Cutting edge IP from Avago for SerDes and
high-speed I/O are essential technologies that enable us to deliver compelling
and innovative solutions in silicon for our customers."
"We are committed to providing solutions that meet our customers` growing
requirements for speed, density, power, and execution," said Frank Ostojic, vice
president and general manager of Avago`s ASIC Products Division. "We are
delighted that Juniper has chosen Avago to engage so closely on such
breakthrough projects that enable us to showcase our embedded SerDes leadership
within the industry and meet Juniper`s needs of unprecedented performance and
scale for their new product."
Over two years ago, Avago introduced working 65nm SerDes silicon and was the
first to demonstrate 20 Gbps performance in 40nm. With over three decades of
experience, Avago has established a consistent record of first-pass success in
the design and manufacture of complex silicon solutions. With use of
state-of-the-art hierarchical design methodology and an extensive IP portfolio,
Avago has maintained a solid reputation for delivering high performance silicon
that meet the needs of designers developing next generation networking, storage,
and computing applications.
