OTTAWA and SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Quake Technologies, Inc., the leading supplier of 10Gb/s Physical Layer (PHY) ICs, today announced the availability of the QT2045, a third generation PHY for 10GBASE-LX4 and 10GBASE-CX4 applications. With industry leading power consumption and an extensive feature set, the QT2045 enables higher port density systems as well as next-generation XENPAK and X2 optical modules.
Industry Leading Power, Experience
The QT2045 utilizes a combination of an advanced 0.13 micron CMOS process with Quake’s proprietary high-speed/low-power design techniques. At just 880 mW, the QT2045 sets a new standard for power consumption in LX4/CX4 devices.
The QT2045 also benefits from the vast amount of field-proven experience upon which the product is based. Quake was first to market with standards’ compliant dual mode LX4/CX4 silicon in 2003, and has been shipping in volume ever since. As a result, the QT2045 is the most robust solution for any LX4 or CX4 application.
“Quake has delivered market-leading products into the LX4 and CX4 markets from the beginning and continues to do so with the QT2045,” said Daniel Trépanier, president and CEO of Quake Technologies. “10G Ethernet port deployments are growing rapidly and LX4/CX4 ports are a significant portion of this growth. We are committed to providing best-in-class solutions for LX4/CX4 as well as all other 10 Gb/s applications.”
