Kawasaki, Japan and Sunnyvale, U.S., February 12, 2009 – Fujitsu Laboratories Limited and Fujitsu Laboratories of America, Inc. today announced the development of a power-efficient and compact multiple-channel high-speed transceiver circuit, that enables high-speed transmission at 10 gigabits-per-second (10Gbps) when used in backplanes which are circuit boards that act as transmission conduits of blade servers, which are high-performance servers that combine several servers. Compared to conventional technology, this novel backplane transceiver circuit would require only one-fourth (1/4) the power consumption and just half the area, to act as transmission conduits to enable 4-channel 10Gbps transmission in backplanes. It is anticipated that the new transceiver circuits will be employed in backplanes to meet the increasing need for blade server systems featuring high-density packaging, high-speed transmissions, and lower power consumption.
