VSC3340-31
3.5 Gbps 40 × 40 Crosspoint Switch
Microsemi’s multichannel 3.5 Gbps crosspoint switch provides a cost-
effective solution for high-speed copper interconnects.
The VSC3340-31 is the industry’s highest performance signal integrity
crosspoint solution. The VSC3340-31 is uniquely capable of addressing
a wide array of routing, switching, and signal integrity issues across
broadcast video, telecommunications, and Ethernet applications.
In video applications, the VSC3340-31 can support HDMI, DVI,
DisplayPort, or SDI HDTV protocols. The VSC3340-31 features a
40 × 40 non-blocking, multicasting switch core with ports running at
any rate up to 3.5 Gbps. The VSC3340-31 architecture provides
protocol-independent operation that allows each channel to run
independently.
The VSC3340-31 includes both register and static programming
modes. The VSC3340-31 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.
