Fujitsu to Launch ARM1176 Prototyping Kit

Tokyo, May 8, 2008 – Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited (FML) today announced that it will launch an ARM1176 prototyping kit, designed to shorten the development lead time for customers using FML's ASIC and COT services to develop system LSIs that include the ARM1176JZF-S™, ARM926EJ-S™, or ARM946E-S™ processor cores. The new prototyping kit will include an evaluation board loaded with chips for trying out the ARM1176JZF-S processor, a FPGA reference design, and sample programs. FML's prototyping kit will enable customers to debug their logic circuits and develop device drivers before fabrication of their chips, resulting in a faster system-LSI design process. The new kit will be available from July 2008, and will be exhibited at the 11th Embedded Systems Expo, to be held from May 14 to 16, 2008 at Tokyo Big Sight.

Fujitsu and HHI Achieve Optical Amplitude Noise Reduction Using Ultra High-Speed Optical Switch

Kawasaki, Japan and Berlin, March 6, 2008 – Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. and Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich Hertz Institut(HHI) today announced the development of an ultra high-speed optical switch that uses nonlinear optical fiber to reduce optical amplitude noise, which degrades the quality of optical signals when they are transmitted. Employing this technology, suppression of optical amplitude noise using a 107 gigabit per second (Gbps) phase modulated ultra high-speed signal was successfully verified. In addition, in a data transmission test across 320 km, it was verified that data quality after transmission could be received with roughly the equivalent of its quality prior to transmission.
