SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- IDT (Integrated Device Technology, Inc.) (Nasdaq:IDTI), a leading communications IC company, today announced new versions of its RC32334 and RC32332 integrated communications processors, featuring performance capabilities of up to four times the PCI throughput when compared to the previous device revision. The latest product enhancements strengthen IDT's position as a leading supplier of integrated communications processors for managed Layer 2 Ethernet switches, and enable the company to continue its focus on high-growth communications applications in the Enterprise market, including wireless access points, SOHO gateways and virtual private networks (VPNs). The enhancements also demonstrate IDT's continued investment into its overall design initiatives, and serve as a proof point for its newest design center in Warren, New Jersey. This design center focuses exclusively on expanding IDT's integrated communications processor portfolio, providing system architecture expertise to enhance the product family and enable compelling system performance in customer applications, as well as supporting the pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation tasks. "The PCI bus continues to be an important connectivity standard for designers targeting cost-conscious enterprise and SOHO applications, and IDT has established a strong position as a supplier of silicon solutions that enable the development of an extremely cost-sensitive, PCI-enabled subsystem," said Ian Ferguson, strategic marketing manager for IDT's Internetworking Products Division. "A key focus for IDT is the development of additional integrated communications processors that improve the sustainable data throughput across the PCI bus as the performance demands on our customers' systems increase." The enhanced RC32332 and RC32334 integrated communications processors also include an improved SDRAM controller, enabling a direct connection and easy interoperability with the latest generation of x32 SDRAM devices, as well as a broad selection of discrete components and SO-DIMM memory modules, improving time to market and overall system cost savings. Additionally, the enhanced processors are backward pin and software-compatible with the previous devices to ensure a simple upgrade path for existing customers. Integrated Device Technology Inc. (IDT)
