Molex and AMC join for Electronica demonstration
Molex
Molex I-Trac
Molex and Applied Micro Circuits are partnering at Electronica 2008 to deliver a robust data transmission at 10.3 Gbps over one metre of copper traces.
The demonstration will feature the Molex I-Trac reference backplane connected through the AMCC QT2055 10GBASE-KR PHY IC and will carry out a simulation relevant to the emerging IEEE 802.3ap 10G Ethernet standard.
The Molex I-Trac system offers good impedance control, lower cross-talk and high overall bandwidth.
The system's open pin-field design enables designers to assign high-speed differential pairs, low-speed signals and power and ground contacts anywhere within the pin-field.
The QT2055 is a low power XAUI-to-10GBASE-KR PHY IC designed for single lane 10 Gbps Ethernet backplane serial connectivity with a reach of up to one metre of PCB/backplane.
It has integrated EDC, FEC as well as 1G/10G support.
Gilles Garcia, director of marketing at AMCC, said: 'Demonstrating the maturity of the technology and applications will accelerate the adoption in enterprise data centres for server-to-server communication and blade server platforms.' Visitors to the Molex stand will be able to view this demonstration first hand and speak to key product engineers about their project needs.
