SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Infineon Technologies (FSE/NYSE:IFX), a leading supplier of communications IC solutions, today announced it has begun sampling a highly integrated, 24+2G Ethernet switch-on-a-chip with embedded memory. The PLB2224 switch-on-a-chip device offers the highest density, lowest power and smallest footprint on the market, making it ideal for enterprise LAN and multi-tenant unit (MTU) switching applications. "The MTU market focus is shifting to more efficient use of bandwidth and delivery requirements to address the growing connectivity needs of tenants residing and working within buildings and enterprise LAN users," said Daniel Wong, vice president of Infineon's communications group and general manager of the LAN Business Unit. "The embedded DRAM enables our Ethernet switch-on-a-chip to handle more data at faster speeds, and offer a lower system cost." Infineon Technologies AG
