October 2000November 2000December 2000
Added to the S&P 500 index.
Introduction of the Hudson (S19203),
the industry’s first 10 Gbps silicon device
architected to support both the evolving
G.709 digital wrapper and traditional
SONET/ SDH infrastructures.
Introduction of the Danube (S4805), the
industry’s first highly integrated OC-48
SONET/ SDH framing and pointer processor
device with on-chip features that are critical
for next-generation optical networking
equipment. The Danube is complemented by
AMCC’s S3455 best-in-class CMOS OC-48
4-bit LVDS transceiver IC, which completes
an end-to-end chipset solution that meets
the power, cost and space requirements
of new intelligent optical networking
equipment.
Introduction of the S3095, the industry’s
first 12.5 Gbps SiGe integrated TIA
and automatic gain control amplifier
for DWDM links.
Two-for-one stock split in the form
of a 100% stock dividend.
Merger with MMC Networks complete.
Reliability testing being
conducted at the AMCC
Switching & Network
Processing Business Unit
in Sunnyvale, CA.
State-of-the-art training facility
at AMCC’s new engineering
building in San Diego.
products continues to drive content, AMCC’s expanded ability to provide high-level framing,
switching and network-processing solutions will be an increasingly important competitive
differentiator for the Company.
One of the most important factors in AMCC’s future success will be the continued growth of the
optical networking equipment market and the Company’s ability to gain significant design wins
in this arena. With the optical equipment market expected to grow faster than CAPex, AMCC’s
expertise in high-end, high-bandwidth technology puts the Company in a solid position for greater
leadership. To meet this demand, AMCC offers first-to-market OC-768 products and a complete
line of pre-integrated OC-192 solutions—including physical medium dependent (PMD),
physical layer (PHY), framer and forward error correction (FEC) products— that provide rapid time
to market, low power and excellent performance.
AMCC is also uniquely qualified for leadership in the Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) market.
The Company offers the broadest OC-48 product line in the industry, including pre-integrated
PMD, PHY, framer, FEC, serializer/ deserializer (SerDes), network processor, traffic manager and
switch fabric products. The Company delivers proven experience and scalability in these tech-
nologies, including being first to market with a fully programmable OC-48c network processor,
a 10 Gbps fine-grained traffic manager and a compatible family of backplane fabrics ranging from
20 gigabit to terabit capabilities. In addition, AMCC is well positioned to be the first to introduce
a programmable OC-192 network processor.
It is through a balanced mix of these growth factors that AMCC plans to expand the Company’s
leadership in high-speed, high-bandwidth networking solutions well into the future.
