Infineon delivers Embedded Linux with new Internet access 64-bit SOC
Jun. 04, 2002

Atlanta, GA; Supercomm 2002 -- (press release excerpt) -- Infineon Technologies today introduced the EasyPort broadband communications processor family. Based on a powerful 64-bit CPU core subsystem and featuring extensive packet and ATM cell processing functionality, EasyPort provides the compute power and flexibility for data and voice/data Integrated Access Device (IAD) systems, small and medium enterprise gateways, access routers and Voice over IP (VoIP) routers. Infineon will demonstrate the EasyPort at Supercomm 2002, June 4 - 6 in Atlanta, Ga., booth #23726.

Infineon's EasyPort ICs are the industry's first network terminal controllers based on the MIPS64 5Kc high-end processor core. The controllers are designed to provide system manufacturers with a powerful platform for implementation of broadband link systems, from access router applications up to multi-function ATM and IP-based products.

Drawing on its experience and broad product lines for access connectivity, Infineon is the only network processor provider to offer a complete set of peripherals and broadband transceiver chipsets for system implementation. These range from T1/E1 to very high-speed DSL bandwidths, enabling manufacturers to create access product lines that scale from the small office/home office (SOHO) to mid-size enterprise grade solutions for data, video and voice services.

The EasyPort communications processor family supports multiple uplinks, allowing access through a wide range of broadband technologies, including traditional T1/E1 framers, standardized DSL transceivers (ADSL, SHDSL and VDSL) and Infineon's innovative high-speed 10BaseS(TM) Ethernet over VDSL technology. When used in combination with VINETIC, Infineon's Voice-over-Packet / Voice-over-Cell solution, the platform supports complete and highly scalable voice systems with up to 32 voice channels.

Infineon provides CAMPOS, an embedded Linux operating system for the EasyPort family, as well as a firmware suite designed to offload data link and voice processing functions from the main CPU. Dedicated on-chip application processors support Infineon's xDSL chipsets, VINETIC voice processors, SLICs and T1/E1 framers to provide Broadband Loop Emulation Services (BLES). Future applications offering support for additional signalling protocols will become available over time. Users of EasyPort will be able to run the Open Sources Linux software using a comprehensive API to access I/O features. This high degree of integration enables rapid time-to-market for sophisticated applications.

The first four members of the EasyPort family, available in engineering samples this quarter, are scheduled for volume delivery in the fourth quarter 2002. Complete firmware, evaluation support and reference designs are available concurrently. All EasyPort family members are delivered in a 416-pin-PBGA package. Pricing ranges from $20 - $34 in quantities of 10,000.
