67-21S/KK6C-E6528C6/DT(EMM) - EVERLIGHT ELECTRONICS

Product Overview

This product brief describes the UFE412, the leading device in

PMC-Sierra’s Universal Front End 4 (UFE4) product family in terms

of features, port density and performance. The UFE412 is a pre-

conditioning co-processor for WinPath3-based Applications

targeted for Wireline and Wireless Backhaul Solutions. Together,

the WinPath3 and the UFE412 create a platform that enables

highly integrated solutions for a range of port densities and

bandwidth configurations scaling to 4xOC-3/STM-1 rate with full

APS 1+1 redundancy.

The UFE412 device enables the WinPath3 to efficiently support a

variety of services: TDM, ATM, HDLC, PPP, and Circuit Emulation.

The WinPath3 itself also supports many protocol interworking

services, including CES over PSN, ATM over PSN, IP interworking

(routing), ATM cell switching, IMA, ML-PPP and others. The

WinPath3/UFE412 platform allows maximum flexibility and

feature richness together with efficiency in cost, power and board

space.

There are two variants of the UFE412: the UFE412-T4 is optimized

for CESoP/SAToP applications, while the UFE412-M4 provides

multi-protocol support.
