Mindspeed Introduces Ultra-SDI Solutions for 4K UHDTV

6Gbps Equalizer and Cable Driver to Be Demonstrated at NAB 2013

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NAS: MSPD) , a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for broadcast video infrastructure, today announced it will be demonstrating its new 6G-serial digital interface (SDI) video solutions for 4K ultra high-definition (UHD) broadcast video transport applications at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show 2013.

Mindspeed®’s new Ultra-SDI™ products include the M22554, 6G-SDI adaptive video cable equalizer and the M22468, 6G-SDI video cable driver that support 6G/3G/HD/SD applications at 143 Mbps to 5.94 Gbps data rates. These new devices enhance next-generation system designs by providing higher density, lower power and lower material cost for transporting high quality UHD images compared to multi-lane solutions.

“We are thrilled to deliver solutions that enable the broadcast industry to migrate to higher resolutions,” said Hasnain Bajwa, senior vice president and general manager, high-performance analog, at Mindspeed. “The Ultra-SDI family joins Mindspeed’s portfolio of production-ready high-speed crosspoints, which support 6G-SDI and beyond.”

The M21167, also on display at NAB 2013, is a 6.5Gbps non-blocking 160×160 crosspoint switch that integrates input equalization and output de-emphasis with industry leading power consumption.

Technical Details

The M22554 equalizer is a high-speed, lower-power, adaptive co-axial cable equalizer designed to increase the maximum distance of SDI video signals and DVB-ASI across commonly used bandwidth-limiting 75 ohm coaxial cable. The M22554 is designed to support data rates from 143 Mbps to 5.94 Gbps. The low noise, high-gain equalizer allows for low jitter 5.94 Gbps transmissions with dual differential outputs featuring programmable swing as well as de-emphasis. The equalizer operates using a single 2.5 V supply voltage, provides advanced diagnostics capabilities including cable length indication, loss of signal detection and offers power management capabilities. The M22554 is housed in a 5×5 mm² 32-pin quad-flat no leads (QFN) package. The equalizer will also be available in industry standard 16-pin and 24-pin versions in a 4×4 mm² QFN package.

The M22468 cable driver is a high-speed, low-power, low-jitter cable driver that is designed to drive serial digital video data through 75 ohm coaxial cable typically used in SMPTE and DVB-ASI video applications. It has dual differential outputs with individual mute control and slew rate control. …read more

Mindspeed Introduces Industry’s First Reclocker with Integrated Cable Driver for the Broadcast Video Market

Low Power, Integrated 3G-SDI Reclocker Eases System Design

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NAS: MSPD) , a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for broadcast video infrastructure, today announced its M31285, new low-power, multi-rate, serial digital interface (SDI) reclocker with integrated fully featured dual cable drivers in a compact 4×4 mm² package providing up to 50 percent power savings compared to competitive solutions. The new reclocker simplifies system design by offering additional margin through enhanced trace equalization and lower output jitter.

“We have leveraged our expertise in signal integrity and low-power design to provide an integrated solution that delivers industry leading performance, density, and power consumption,” said Ryan Latchman, vice president of strategic marketing and applications engineering, high-performance analog at Mindspeed. “We are excited to roll out innovative solutions that enable the next generation of broadcast of video systems.”

Technical Details

The M31285 features two integrated differential 75 ohm cable drivers that each feature programmable swing and pre-emphasis. A standalone reclocker, the M31245 with dual 50 ohm trace drivers with de-emphasis, is also available. Both devices operate at SDI data rates ranging from 270 Mbps to 2.97 Gbps, also support multichannel audio digital interface (MADI) at 125 Mbps, and feature a jitter detector module which measures the jitter present at the input of the reclocker after the signal is equalized.

The M31285 and M31245 both equalize up to 60 inches of trace, integrate Automatic Rate Detect circuitry and internal reference clock, which eliminates the need for an external crystal oscillator reducing complexity and component costs. At 160 mW and 80 mW respectively, the M31285 and M31245 consume significantly less power than existing devices. Both are packaged in a 4×4 mm² 32-pin QFN package providing significant area reduction compared to designs realized with legacy solutions.

Mindspeed will be demonstrating the new reclocker at the 2013 NAB Show at its booth, #N2834 in North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, April 8-11, 2013.

Mindspeed Expands Crosspoint Product Line with a Family of High Density Devices with Data Rates up to 12.5Gbps

Company’s High-Performance Analog Solutions Enable At-Speed Switching, Reducing Latency for Optical Transport and Data Center Applications

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NAS: MSPD) , a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for network infrastructure applications, today announced the expansion of its industry-leading crosspoint portfolio with 160×160, 48×48, 36×36 and 24×24 devices that further extend the world’s broadest line of crosspoint switches.

Today’s ultra-time-sensitive applications demand very low latency that wide area networks and data centers need to address. An example is financial trading, where low latency is required for running an efficient, competitive market, and is viewed as a competitive advantage that delivers increased profits for firms which can execute transactions faster than their competitors. In such applications, latency is a frequently used metric that determines the necessary network and system architecture driving the use of crosspoints where port-based switching is required.

Mindspeed®’s crosspoints utilize high-performance analog process technology, enabling at-speed port switching, eliminating the need for SerDes devices and memory required for store-and-forward packet switching scheme, thus reducing latency, power consumption and cost. In addition, they feature Mindspeed’s advanced signal-integrity management technology that delivers signal transmission speeds up to 12.5 Gbps. This signal conditioning technology enables storage, server and networking systems to support the industry’s migration to higher data rates over backplanes and cabling media.

The new devices further extend the industry’s broadest offering of crosspoint switch switches spanning 2×2 to 288×288 matrix sizes. For communications applications, the switches support 10 Gigabit Ethernet, optical transport channel unit 2 (OTU2), 8G and 10G Fibre Channel, 12.5 Gbps for two times RXAUI and proprietary data rates.

“Mindspeed continues to demonstrate its leadership in high-growth markets where low-latency switching and signal integrity is an increasingly difficult challenge,” said Gary Shah, vice president of product marketing, high-performance analog (HPA) business unit, at Mindspeed. “Our crosspoint switching products are a cost effective alternative to packet switches in wide area networks and data center applications.”

Mindspeed will be showcasing these new crosspoints at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition and the National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference (OFC/NFOEC 2013), from March 19-21, 2013, in booth number 1174 at the Anaheim Convention Center.
