Wintegra has expanded its third generation processor family with the launch of WinPath3-SuperLite (WP3-SL), which complements the WinPath3 that was introduced last year.
The company claims that the new device, plus its production quality software opens a new range of price sensitive applications like microwave backhaul, wireless aggregation line cards, enterprise femto and pico base stations, access routers, business IADs, and VDSL and PON pizza boxes.
According to Wintegra, the WP3-SL includes a MIPS 34K core running up to 650MHz for control path processing. It offers up to 24 10/100 ethernet ports, six 1Gb ethernet ports or three 2.5Gb ethernet interfaces. For TDM designs, it has up to 16 E1 or T1 ports. In addition, it provides connectivity to POS and Utopia devices and PCIe.
Wintegra claims that it provides ample performance for its target markets, up to 6Mpps including classification, policing and shaping. In addition, it provides support for DDR2 and DDR3 external memories.
Robert O’Dell, founder and EVP of marketing and sales at Wintegra, said: “The WinPath3-SuperLite is a great low-cost addition to our processor portfolio. Since the WP3-SL is software compatible with other WinPath devices, now designers have scalable processor solutions for a wide range of products from cost sensitive microwave backhaul designs to very high performance LTE base stations and carrier class IP equipment.”
