IDT Announces World’s Lowest Jitter MEMS Oscillators With Integrated Frequency Margining Capability

IDT’s 4H LVDS / LVPECL MEMS Oscillators with 100 Femtoseconds Typical Phase Jitter and Adaptable Output Frequency Reduces BER in High-performance 10GbE and Networking Applications

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT®) (NAS: IDTI) , the Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential mixed-signal semiconductor solutions, today announced the industry’s first differential MEMS oscillators with 100 femtosecond (fs) typical phase jitter performance and integrated frequency margining capability. The extremely low phase jitter and adaptable output frequency of IDT‘s high-performance oscillators significantly reduce bit error rate (BER) in 10 gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) switches, routers, and other related networking equipment.

The IDT 4H performance MEMS oscillators feature a differential LVDS / LVPECL output and the lowest phase jitter in their product class (100 fs @ 1.875 – 20 MHz and sub-300 fs @ 12kHz – 20 MHz), satisfying the low-jitter chipset requirements of high-performance networking applications. Integrated frequency margining capability enables customers to fine-tune the oscillator frequency during operation in the application by up to ±1000 ppm, minimizing BER and facilitating margin testing. IDT‘s 4H MEMS oscillators are available in multiple package sizes including the smaller 3225 (3.2 x 2.5 mm) to save board space and cost in densely populated applications. IDT is the only supplier to offer this combination of MEMS oscillator performance, features, and small package size.

IDT‘s latest series of MEMS oscillators build upon the standard 4M and enhanced 4E oscillator series’ to address the demanding performance requirements of 10GbE and networking applications,” said Christian Kermarrec, vice president and general manager of the Timing and Synchronization Division at IDT. “As the leader in timing solutions, we equip our customers with the highest performance parts and innovative features to facilitate the development of their next-generation products. We are pleased to see many OEMs choosing IDT over MEMS start-up suppliers for the experience and technical innovation that IDT provides.”

“Cloud computing and storage infrastructure is growing rapidly with almost 50% of servers and storage clusters shipping with 10GbE. High performance MEMS oscillators enable a lower bit error rate in enterprise computing and storage infrastructure and offer much better reliability at the same time,” said Jérémie Bouchaud, director and principal analyst for MEMS and sensors at IHS.

IDT‘s integrated frequency margining capability enables customers to employ a technique known in the industry as ‘plus-PPM clocking’. This technique clocks systems …read more

Perl help – how to assign output of perl to variable

By whipuras

Hi, guys, i have a script i inherited from a coworker but i’m not perl savy. The script works but i would like it to work better. I want to run this command

./ciscomgrtest.pl -r “show version” -h hosts.router

and have the script goto each router in the hosts.router file and run the command “show version” on telnet.

Right now the script works but i have to put in the “show version” inside a variable inside the actual script like this.


#!/usr/local/bin/perl
#
#
use Net::Ping;
use Net::Telnet;
use Net::DNS::Resolver;
use Getopt::Std;
use lib '/home/sadmin';
use BER;
use SNMP_Session;

$COMMAND = 'show version';


How can i get that -r switch to put the “show version” from the command line into the variable when run? BTW the -r is arbitray, any switch would work.

hope this makes sense. thanks
