VSC3340

3.5 Gbps or 6.5 Gbps 40x40 Crosspoint Switch

The VSC3340 is the industry's highest performance signal integrity crosspoint solution with low power green modes for optimal reduced power operation. The VSC3340 is uniquely capable of addressing a wide array of routing, switching, and signal integrity issues across storage, blade server, broadcast video, telecommunications, and Ethernet applications. In video applications, the VSC3340 can support HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, or SDI HDTV protocols. The VSC3340 features a 40x40 non-blocking, multicasting switch core with ports running at any rate up to 6.5G. The VSC3340 architecture provides protocol-independent operation that allows each channel to run independently, and optimizes low power operation when running at lower speeds. The VSC3340 includes both register and static programming modes. The VSC3340 incorporates Microsemi's fourth-generation input equalization and pre-emphasis I/O capability for the industry’s latest generation protocols. The device can perform signal fanout, loopback, and protection switching. It can also regenerate signals severely compromised by transmission losses. Microsemi's industry-proven equalization provides highly effective compensation for deterministic jitter across a wide range of high-speed interconnect applications.
