Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. (TOKYO: 5802) (ISIN: JP3407400005), a leader in optical solutions, has announced that it is expanding its optical transceiver portfolio with the introduction of a 40GbE CFP module for 10km transmission
Filed Under Sumitomo | Comments Off
Tokyo, Japan, September 21, 2009 — The transceiver which Sumitomo Electric developed complies with the 40GbE standard under discussion at IEEE802 committee.
In order to respond to 2010’s shortage of transmission capacity due to the rapid growth of the Internet service, IEEE802 committee has been working on the next-generation standard of 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet.
In parallel, Sumitomo Electric has been leading the multi source agreement(MSA) of next generation form factor called CFP with 2 major optical component vendors.
To meet these demands, Sumitomo Electric has developed the worlds first 40 GbE CFP transceiver for 10km transmission using a high speed 4 wavelength CWDM laser diode by applying its own low-power consuming drive technology and high density mounting technology.
Sumitomo Electric has started shipping 40G CFP samples and mass production is planned for 2nd quarter of 2010. The mass production will be done at Sumitomo Electric Device Innovations, 100% owned subsidiary company of Sumitomo Electric.

AppliedMicro’s Energy Conscious Processors Continue Drive Toward Low-Power Processing
Filed Under AppliedMicro | Comments Off
SUNNYVALE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dec. 7, 2009– Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (NASDAQ:AMCC), or AppliedMicro, a global leader in energy conscious computing and communications solutions, today announced energy efficient versions of the company’s families of 405 and 460 microprocessors that consume up to 40 percent less power for a variety of embedded applications. The company’s Power Architecture® 405EX, 405EXr, 460EX, 460EXr and 460GT processors have been optimized for low-power consumption.
The new low-power processor family members offer up to 40 percent lower worst case power consumption and an improvement of about 20 percent in typical power consumption. For example, the Power Architecture 405EXr, which finds application in wireless LAN access points as well as NAS storage systems and media gateways, now offers a maximum worst case active power consumption of just over 2 watts, a reduction of almost 1.5 watts, or 40 percent.
All current AppliedMicro customers using 405EX/EXr and 460EX/EXr/GT products will be migrated to the new low-power variants. Moving forward, all new customers for these products will use the low-power version.
