Cortina Delivers Industry's First 28nm EDC PHY Architecture

 

New Cortina Octal 15G EDC PHY Sets Industry Benchmark for Density, Low Power and Latency 

  

SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - December 3, 2012) - Cortina Systems, Inc.  (Cortina®), delivering innovative technologies that link people and networks worldwide, today announced the industry's first 28nm EDC PHY architecture. This next generation architecture becomes the technological foundation for future Cortina 25G and multi-level PAM products. The architecture is designed to drive dramatically lower power and support higher bandwidth to scale to 100G and 400G applications. The density of the 28nm technology will enable higher port counts and increased faceplate and backplane bandwidth for next generation data center, carrier and enterprise systems.  

 

The first member of this architecture is the CS4343 Octal 15G Electronic Dispersion Compensation (EDC) device. The CS4343's baseline architecture leads the industry less than 1 nsec latency in a 17mm x 17mm package, while lowering power consumption by 50% over previous generations. The CS4343 provides a wide operating frequency range from 1 to 15Gbps, and support for all the major standards used in data centers, storage, high performance computing, and wireless backhaul applications including 1GbE, 10GbE, 40GbE, 100GbE, InfiniBand, Fibre Channel, CPRI and OBSAI. This comprehensive capability allows system designers to solve a wide range of applications with the same device.

 

"Data centers are being upgraded to handle the exponential growth in bandwidth. System vendors are looking for solutions to meet restrictive size, power, and density constraints," said Scott Feller, director at Cortina Systems, Inc. "28nm technology enables Cortina to develop a base platform architecture that meets system vendor requirements today and in the future while keeping a small foot print, increasing the supported data rate to 15G, while reducing power consumption by 50% over current production parts."

 

"Latency, power, density, and cost are the critical differentiators for system vendors developing 10G switches for data center, storage, and financial markets," commented Dale Murray, Principal Analyst at LightCounting, a market research company focusing on optical interconnects. "This is driving the need for high port density, low latency and power, and high feature integration in all components that go into these switches."

 

The CS4343 PHY functionality supports eight full-duplex 10G links or two full-duplex 40G links. The device has a wide operating frequency range covering 1GbE, 10GbE, 1G FC, 2G FC, 4G FC, 8G, 16G FC, Infiniband SDR, DDR, QDR and FDR, and CPRI Options 1 to 7. EDC capability allows the device to operate with linear SFP+/QSFP optical modules to Direct Attach Copper, and 10GBase-ZR and DWDM SMF applications. The device is fully compliant to 10G SFP+, 802.3ba 40G and 100G nPPI, and nAUI specifications. The fully autonomous device does not require external processors to control the convergence or dynamic adaption of the dispersion compensation. The CS4343 also integrates the auto-negotiation and coefficient training functionality for 40G CR4 applications, and rate negotiation 16G Fibre channel, for seamless interoperability with existing equipment.

 

The CS4343 includes an integrated 2x2 switch enabling redundant backplane and faceplate applications without needing an external crossbar device. The integrated switch functionality supports 1+1 protection switching and broadcast functionality in both directions. The device supports link quality monitoring for the inactive redundant link to enable fast switching. In addition, the CS4343 has a fully symmetric architecture with EDC capability on both ingress and egress directions. This enables applications such as translation from KR4 backplane to CR4 cable in blade server designs using a single device, reducing system cost. 

 

The CS4343 has integrated AC coupling capacitors, and supports reference clock free operation to reduce overall system BOM cost. The device also includes capabilities such as real time eye monitoring, loopbacks, PRBS generators and checkers, and hardware interrupt and GPIO pins for test and debug purposes.

 

Availability
The Cortina CS4343 device is currently sampling.

FoodChek Systems Achieves Listeria spp. AOAC PTM Certification

 

CALGARY, AB--(Marketwire - December 3, 2012) - FoodChek Systems Inc. ("FoodChek" or the "Corporation") is very proud to announce that the AOAC Research Institute, the approval body for all U.S. food safety tests, has validated and certified as a Performance Tested Method ("PTM"), FoodChek's patent pending Actero(tm) Listeria Enrichment Media (License #111201) and the FoodChek(tm) Listeria spp. Assay Cassette (License #111202). Both are technological breakthroughs; the first product an enhanced enrichment medium for the detection of Listeria spp., and the second an effective Listeria spp. test method on stainless steel and plastic food contact environmental surfaces.

The impact of this announcement gives the Corporation the ability to grow substantially and is another step forward, in FoodChek's mission to provide faster, more accurate and cost-effective processes for testing food safely. Securing the AOAC PTM Certification, previously with our "same shift" E. coli O157 assay (including enrichment phase), and now with the "same day" Listeria spp. assay opens the door for FoodChek to introduce its patented MICT nanotechnology testing platform to all processors worldwide. This is excellent news for those processors that are unsatisfied with the current standards and methods for testing in the wake of several recalls and health scares.

William J. Hogan, President and CEO, stated: "The combination of these Listeria spp. game-changing detecting products, with test results in less than 24 hours (including the enrichment phase), are now available for use in all in-house and external laboratories, and by all processors. This gives FoodChek access to a potential international food testing market for Listeria spp. of $550 million literally overnight. While these numbers are impressive, they pale when compared to the financial upside FoodChek is offering to processors determined to protect their brands from reputation crushing recall disasters resulting from inferior or time consuming testing methods."

Dr. R. Michael Giuffre, Chief Scientific Officer stated: "With the addition of the Actero(tm) Media and the Assay Cassette for Listeria spp., we immediately open the global market to FoodChek and bring true easy-to-use rapid testing to all processors everywhere with the fastest "time-to-results" for all of their food safety testing needs. Actero(tm) Listeria Enrichment Media, the first enrichment media to be awarded the prestigious AOAC PTM Certification, will be the driver of both the early and long-term success of FoodChek as a company."

Five individuals who receive these special commemorative bottles will receive a gift of US$1,000.00 from Doctor's Wellness Solutions.

Doctor's Wellness Solutions will be opening an office in Hong Kong in the first quarter of 2013. With the tremendous growth that we have experienced in 2012 throughout Asia Pacific, this will allow for a more centralized location to better serve the needs of the ViaViente Customers, Members and Leaders throughout the region. We are relocating our employees to Hong Kong from Taiwan. This office relocation is an exciting move as the company will be positioned to meet the needs of all Asia Pacific Customers, Members and Leaders more effectively. All Taiwan customers will continue to receive their ViaViente product at their home addresses just as they have since 2005.

In 2013, the company will be expanding its annual conference event to two regional annual conferences in Asia Pacific. Founder and CEO Craig Keeland comments, "Our 2012 Asia Pacific conference was the most productive conference in our 10 year history. The growing product sales and geographic expansion in Asia Pacific warrant two Asia Pacific conference events in the coming year." Both the northern Asia Pacific conference and the central-southern Asia Pacific conference will be held in September 2013.

Since the founding of the company in 2003, giving back has been a cornerstone. Keeland elaborates, "Whenever there is a need in the communities and countries where we are, we have reached out to people in need as those needs occur."

The company has made substantial contributions to support people in need in Japan, China, Taiwan and the Philippines as well as contributions to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, Red Cross and others. The company founded the Andes Children's Foundation in 2003 in support of the Vilcabamba Valley, high in the Andes Mountains of South America. This foundation was established to thank the residents of the Valley for sharing their whole fruits and mineral water that make up the ViaViente product. The foundation supports the ongoing educational needs of the children of the Vilcabamba Valley so they can have a bright future. Keeland recalls, "Because of the company's long tradition of consistent giving back, people have given us the tagline: 'We Are More Than A Company... We Are A Cause(tm).'"
