The CPS family of Serial RapidIO (sRIO)-based devices enables ZTE to provide industry-leading flexibility through combinations of performance, cost, and function, specifically 4x and 1x port options coupled with enhanced features for system bring-up and debug. The optimised performance features of the IDT CPS solution fit the design requirements for ZTE to develop next-generation 3G solutions and products.
Based on proven IDT pre-processing technology, and leveraging the sRIO, Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) and Inter-Integrated Circuit (I²C) interconnect standards; the IDT CPS-16 (80KSW0002AR) switch provides an advanced feature set developed in conjunction with IDT customers to meet their specific interconnectivity needs. This feature set is built into the IDT solution to benefit customers in the design phase, while also enabling critical diagnostics during the early stages of testing, and remaining useful in the end application. The diagnostics function provides customers with added security and faster time to market. The IDT CPS device also includes a ‘loopback mode’, which enables customers the added flexibility to work with the physical layer of the IDT device and to quickly identify the source of any performance bottlenecks. These enhanced functions provide ‘kill’ and ‘trace/mirror’ capabilities that enable an added layer of security that is often critical in embedded applications.
