The IDT CPS-1432 is an 8x4/14x2/14x1 RapidIO Gen2 switch ideal for boards that require up to eight high bandwidth connections of up to 20 Gbps per port (8x4). The CPS-1432 can also be used in space constrained applications such as AMC or 6U/3U VPX where a large number of x4 links are used and small footprint is required. The CPS-1432 features a full, non-blocking bandwidth of 160 Gbps for up to 14 ports. It can also be used to drive backplanes or can be used as a backplane switch for small systems. The CPS-1432 device utilizes a 5th generation switch fabric, building upon RapidIO Gen1 CPS and Tsi switching architectures. This new switch uses patent pending features to minimize latency, ensure scheduling fairness, and provide superior multicast throughput.
