MoSys has unveiled Bandwidth Engine integrated circuit (IC), a system offering, which combines the company’s patented 1T-SRAM high-density embedded memory with its ultra high-speed 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) SerDes interface (I/O) technology and an arithmetic logic unit (ALU).
The company said that it expects Bandwidth Engine to enable up to four times the throughput, two to four times the density, up to 40% lower power and deliver a system cost savings of up to 50%.
Len Perham, president and CEO of MoSys, said: "The tape-out of our first Bandwidth Engine IC is a major milestone in MoSys’ transition to a fabless semiconductor company, and I want to congratulate our engineering team on this magnificent accomplishment.
"We have several prospective customers lined up in the high speed networking and storage markets, and this tape-out is a key first step in bringing the first Bandwidth Engine product to market. We believe that the market for our Bandwidth Engine family of ICs will be substantial and provide a strong foundation for long-term growth and value creation at MoSys."
The company said that the delivery of Bandwidth Engine samples will be done in late 2010, with production quantities available in 2011.
