thus increasing the speed of data communication on servers, routers and other applications in networks, computing and storage.

Avago's SerDes cores can be easily integrated thanks to their modular architecture for multiple transmission speeds. Avago can integrate more than 200 SerDes channels or more than 190 million gates into a single ASIC, with a FET count exceeding 4 billion. SerDes cores offer a unique decision feedback equalization (DFE) that results in lower overall power consumption. Other key differentiators include best-in-class data latency, noise immunity, jitter, and crosstalk. With over 95 million

SerDes channels delivered, Avago has a long track record of providing reliable, high-performance ASICs. Three decades of design experience, advanced hierarchical design methodology, and a multi-standard offering form the foundation for the company's ability to supply complex ASICs to the wired communications market. Avago's extensive SerDes offering provides support for PCI Express, Fibre Channel, XAUI, IEC-11G, 10GBASE-KR and SFI standards, with the flexibility needed for optical, copper and backplane applications.
