High-density TDM devices target converted and wireless networking equipment

11 February 2004 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Zarlink Semiconductor has launched what it claims is the industry's most fully featured TDM/TSI switch family, setting a new performance standard for high-density switches designed into next-generation converged and wireless networking equipment.

The company developed its 32 K ZL50073 TDM switch family to meet the exacting requirements of high-bandwidth, wired and wireless networking equipment - such as media gateways, wireless base stations, and remote access concentrators - that carry converged voice, data and multimedia services.

Zarlink says the four-device ZL50073 family provides a flexible and cost-effective centralised switching approach for high-bandwidth voice and data equipment. The switch doubles the capabilities of competing high-density devices, offering 128 input and 128 output streams for interfacing to peripheral components and different data rates up to 64 Mbps.

The ZL50073 family includes programmable data rate conversion circuitry, permitting them to directly transmit information between peripheral components without requiring intermediary FPGAs (field programmable gate arrays), glue logic, or other external circuitry that increases board complexity and cost.

Zarlink's high-density TDM switching family consists of three 32,768 channel devices, and one 24,576 channel device. A range of device options enables engineers to select the features they need to cost-effectively support their designs.
