Mindspeed is a leading provider of access, edge and core silicon and systems software for switches, hubs, routers and other communications equipment. This includes digital-signal processing for carrier-class voice over IP gateways, packet and cell processing for Internet traffic management and switching, and transmission technologies that support the full range of performance from 1.544 Mbps T1 to high-speed optical OC-192 (10 Gbps) data rates.
Mindspeed's fiber-optic portfolio spans the entire spectrum of optical
networking transceiver solutions from OC-3 to OC-192 speeds, in support
of Synchronous Optical Network (SONET), Synchronous Digital Hierarchy
(SDH) and Gigabit Ethernet/Fibre Channel digital data transmission
standards.
SONET / SDH / PDH / PHY Components
Mindspeed's family of integrated framers/PHYs are used in a wide variety
of datacom and telecom applications. Framers are integrated with ATM
PHYs which are also sometimes called Cell Delineator Blocks (CDB) or
Transmission Convergence (TC) blocks. These devices format data for
transmission and extract data for reception at various line speeds for
T/E lines and ATM.
Mindspeed's link layer controller software products give customers an
array of choices to implement various components of advanced network
subsystem software, ranging from integration with NetPlane protocol
stacks to providing building blocks for incorporating into customers'
platforms. The portable software products shorten the learning curve of
network technologies such as ATM and Resilient Packet Ring, and allow
customers to design and bring up systems with a minimal development time.

This article looks at the future of ATM and how OEM designers can
support ATM-orientated services over the emerging IP/MPLS core.
Mindspeed's SerDes transceivers, based on SkyRail™ technology, are
designed to meet the needs of high-end transmission systems for fast
data transfers from board-to-board or chassis-to-chassis and across
backplanes, coaxial and optical cables. Built in CMOS for low power
consumption, these transceivers meet established industry standards such
as Fibre Channel, 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit
Ethernet and InfiniBand.
Switch Fabric
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology provides a transport method enabling the transmission of data rates up to 4.6 Mbps over long distances of unconditioned, voice-grade twisted pair wire. Mindspeed DSL products are optimized for either high-density multi-port line cards or single-port customer premises equipment (CPE).
