A 200-Mbps 2-Gbps Continuous-Rate Clock-and-Data-Recovery Circuit
White Paper The retiming circuits have to detect the bit rate from the incoming data and the harmonic locking must be prevented. To receive the data with different bit rates over a wide range without the harmonic-locking issue, two... [29 Aug 2009]
EMC Smarts Optical Transport: A Manager of Managers for Ensuring Service Delivery Over Optical Networks
White Paper Optical Transport Manager distinguishes failures from impacts associated with those failures, and notifies the user what circuits the failures have affected The use of EMC Smarts Application Services... [11 Jun 2009]
A 1O-Gb/s CMOS Clock and Data Recovery Circuit
White Paper Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) circuits operating in the 1O-Gb/s range have become attractive for the optical fiber backbone of the Internet. While CDR circuits operating at 10-Gbls and... [22 Oct 2008]
Feasibility of Flow-Based Optical Provisioning in GEANT
White Paper Historically, telephone calls were injected into circuits at the edge of the network, while data traffic was sent to an IP router towards a packet switched architecture. Traditionally the difference between telephone and... [11 Sep 2008]

Peter Cochrane's Blog: NGNs - real or imaginary?
Comment My first (personal) experience of a NGN came with the arrival of the transistor which immediately reduced equipment sizes and power consumption, and increased the number of speech circuits per pair. The next NGN involved... [02 May 2007]
Peter Cochrane's Blog: No more copper - fibre rules
Comment All the copper and microwave radio long-lines circuits had been relegated to the files of history, turned over to a lesser role of broadcast distribution and emergency stand-by use. Around seven to 10 years later... [07 Sep 2006]
Intel gears up to put an end to PC copper
News Channels in PCI Express - a faster connection for shuttling data within a PC - can pass data at 2.5gbps, but metal channels will likely top out at 10gbps and 20gbps because of signal attenuation and other problems, said Ian Young,... [01 Mar 2004]
Intel to replace silicon
News Shrinkage, though, has made heat a major problem because millions of circuits are now crammed into small spaces where only a few hundred thousand transistors may have existed years before. Other ideas on the drawing... [05 Nov 2003]
