Lattice Semiconductor FPSC Device Enables Smarter Networking With Avaya P580 and P882 Multiservice SwitchesHILLSBORO, Ore. - October 24, 2002 - Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) and Avaya, Inc. (NYSE: AV) today announced that Avaya has deployed Lattice�s ORLI10G Field-Programmable System Chip (FPSC) within its Avaya P580 and the Avaya P882 MultiService Switches. Avaya has integrated 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) modules into the flagship products of its Cajun� MultiService Switching family, designed to provide not just the muscle of additional bandwidth, but also the brains of smarter networking hardware and software. All 10GbE traffic that flows through the Avaya switches will be carried by Lattice�s ORLI10G FPSC, a 10 Gigabit line interface device that acts as a high-speed conduit for Ethernet traffic transmitted over optical components. Lattice�s ORLI10G is the first programmable 10 Gigabit Ethernet line interface chip that provides data networking equipment designers with customizable, protocol-independent interfaces to high-speed optical transport facilities used in local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), and metro area network (MAN) deployments. It implements a 10 Gigabit/s Sixteen-Bit Interface (XSBI) for optical transponders by combining optimized, embedded core logic together with up to 643K gates of programmable logic. The programmable logic employs Lattice�s ORCA� Series 4 field-programmable gate array architecture, which is specifically designed to accommodate networking Intellectual Property (IP) cores. The Lattice Advantage for 10 Gigabit Ethernet Solutions "Lattice is pleased to provide Avaya with a solution for 10 Gigabit Ethernet in their industry-leading Avaya Cajun family of MultiService Switches," said Stan Kopec, vice president of marketing at Lattice Semiconductor. "The ORLI10G was designed to handle the demands of 10Gb Ethernet architectures, an essential technology for the rapidly expanding Metropolitan networking market. The ORLI10G's embedded XSBI core solves high-speed transponder interface issues, while our PCS IP core provides the critical Physical Coding Sublayer functions. With leaders like Avaya designing our FPSC technology into their systems, Lattice�s position as a recognized leader in 10GbE solutions is quickly becoming established." The Avaya Advantage for Converged Networks At the top of Avaya's powerful line of Cajun� network switches, the Avaya P580 and Avaya P882 scale beyond the shared bus and shared memory designs of other lower capacity switches. The switches benefit from Avaya's standards-based VLAN support, impressive N+1 redundancy options, Avaya's comprehensive understanding of Quality of Service issues for voice and video traffic, and labor-saving Avaya VisAbilityTM Management Suite including AvayaTM MultiService Network Manager and AvayaTMPolicy Manager Software. They are positioned to become core components of both current and future converged voice and data networks. Additional ORLI10G Technical Information
The device interfaces directly to industry-standard multiplexer and demultiplexer ICs. This allows Lattice to offer cost-effective solutions for a variety of line interfaces:
Lattice�s 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCS (Physical Coding Sublayer) intellectual property core includes the following features:
Lattice can deliver the PCS core as a ready-to-run bitstream or with VHDL source code, along with simulation and synthesis scripts, and complete documentation.
