Description
AI
Microchip's WinPath3-SuperLite (WP3-SL) provides
a powerful, yet lower cost WinPath3 solution for access processing in the
access infrastructure and CPE (customer premises equipment) market. This new
family of devices leverages Microchip's broad portfolio of hardened
market-ready protocols and industry preferred I/O interfaces and provides this
solution in devices priced less than previous WinPath devices. It has the same
processing elements as the WinPath3, but a reduced number (six) running up to
400 MHz. These processing elements support the latest packet based protocols
such as Ethernet, PWE3 (for Ethernet TDM, HDLC, ATM), and Packet Network
Synchronization (IEEE1588v2, Synchronous Ethernet, adaptive and differential
clock recovery). It also supports ML-PPP, IMA, CES, OAM (for Ethernet and ATM),
QoS (policing, shaping, per-flow queuing, WRED), plus many other protocols. The
WP3-SL incorporates the new WinPath3 hardware accelerators such as a flexible
high performance classifier, a hierarchical shaper, an integrated security
engine and more. The WP3-SL family broadens the Microchip solution to include a
high performance yet lower cost option providing WinPath users a program of
minimum design risk and short time to market.
