EZchip Introduces its NP-2 Network Processor

EZchip Technologies disclosed NP-2 family of network processors. The first two models of the NP-2 family consist of NP-2s, a 10-Gigabit Ethernet/SONET/SDH device, and NP-2e, a 10-Gigabit Ethernet-only device. Both NP-2 devices integrate a 10-Gigabit duplex NPU (network processor), classification engines, two traffic managers, ten 1-Gigabit MACs and one 10-Gigabit MAC in a single chip. The NP-2s also features two SPI4.2 interfaces with up to 192 channels. Both devices provide the lowest system cost and power for high-density Metro Ethernet and Ethernet over SONET/SDH applications. Sampling is expected in Q4. The devices will be manufactured by TSMC using the 0.13 micron process. http://www.ezchip.com
