The NPA is a scale-down of EZchip's high-speed network processors (NPUs), and brings high performance Carrier Ethernet applications to the access market. The NPA is software compatible with EZchip's high-speed network processors. With this latest addition to its product portfolio, EZchip provides network equipment vendors with a common architecture and an easy path to reuse their designs across all their edge, metro and access systems. To complement the NPA, EZchip will soon make available to its customers production-level code for a variety of applications, which will help them expedite their products' time-to-market and simplify their development efforts.
NPA is manufactured in a 90 nanometer silicon process and is available in lead or lead-free packages (RoHS compliant), and commercial or industrial temperature grades.
"The NPA addresses the transition of carrier access networks from ATM/TDM to Ethernet, along with the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth at the access," said Eli Fruchter, President and CEO of EZchip Technologies. "EZchip is the only chip vendor to offer a complete line of network processors, with throughputs ranging from 1-Gigabit to 100-Gigabits, and having a common architecture and software for the carrier edge, metro and access markets. The NPA effectively doubles our addressable market and we believe that it will evolve to be another major growth driver for us in the coming years."
Product Description The NPA is a highly-flexible network processor with integrated hierarchical traffic management that provides system vendors with a powerful, low-cost solution for a variety of carrier access applications, including:
-- GPON/EPON aggregation nodes (OLT) for optical access
-- Wireless backhaul and base stations aggregation for mobile access
-- Access routers
-- Ethernet demarcation, access and aggregation nodes
-- VDSL aggregation nodes (DSLAM) for copper access
The NPA integrates several functions normally found in several chips to allow for simple, low-power and cost effective access system designs:
-- Programmable packet processing - Featuring exceptionally flexible packet processing to support current Carrier Ethernet requirements and to future proof system designs to support new protocols and features through software updates.
-- Hierarchical traffic manager - For assigning thousands of flows with specific Quality of Service (QoS) profiles and enforcing multi-level Service Level Agreements (SLA) for applications, services and subscribers.
-- Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) processing offload - For generating and monitoring thousands of simultaneous OAM sessions to enable high-performance OAM support.
-- Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE 1588v2 clock sync offload - For precise time synchronization among remote nodes and switches.
-- Integrated TCAM - For fast lookups through tables with wildcards, such as Access Control Lists (ACL).
-- On-chip Fabric Interface Controller (FIC) - For chassis-based systems, allows use of standard low-cost Ethernet switches as the system backplane switch fabric, with direct connection from NPA on the line card to the backplane, and guaranteed system-wide end-to-end QoS.
The NPA is offered in three footprint and software compatible models:
-- NPA-1: Eight 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports
-- NPA-2: Sixteen 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports
-- NPA-3: Configurable to a combination of up to four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, or combinations of 10-Gigabit and 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports

Pricing and Availability Samples of all three NPA models are available now. Prices start at under $100 in quantities.
