Single-chip mux/de-mux device for advanced data-flow
2 July 2003
Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT
IDT's new QuadMux flow-control devices, the latest members of its portfolio of flow-control management ICs enable high-performance data-flow management by providing four independent ports on one side of the device, each with its own data memory block, and a single bus on the other, enabling the convergence of four different data streams into a single data path. The QuadMux family is available in densities from 1,25 Mbit (72T55248) to 5 Mbit (72T55268). The devices can be configured for multiplexing, de-multiplexing or broadcasting functionality with a total bandwidth of up to 16 Gbps. This makes them ideal for a range of comms applications, such as terabit routers and switch, base station routing systems, as well as data acquisition and imaging applications where data-stream convergence and parallel buffering of multiple data paths are required. Typically, these types of functions were accomplished with a multiplexer and considerable logic found in ASICs, FPGAs or a combination of standard logic and external memory.
