Communications Timing Products: We are the leading provider of silicon timing
solutions, offering a complete portfolio of products for clock generation, distribution,
recovery and jitter attenuation to serve performance-oriented applications.
Created for networking, wireless infrastructure, wireline communications, advanced
computing, and enterprise storage applications, our communications clocks include
high-performance and high-reliability frequency generation and clock distribution
products enabling advanced clock-tree development, clock synthesizers optimized
for the latest processors and systems on a chip (SOCs), ultra-low jitter clock
sources, jitter attenuation and frequency translation phase-locked loops (PLLs),
RF timing products, and solutions for Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE 1588.
Serial RapidIO Solutions: Our extensive line of high-performance, low-power,
low-latency RapidIO switches are ideal for peer-to-peer multiprocessor embedded
systems. Our latest generation of switches target 5G mobile network development
and mobile edge computing. These switches exceed the latest RapidIO 10xN specification,
offering ultra-low latency approaching 100ns and a flexible, non-blocking fabric
with switching performance of up to 600 Gbps. RapidIO switches are the backbone
of 3G and 4G wireless base stations for chip-to-chip, board-to-board and chassis-to-chassis
links including secure encryption/decryption of the Serial RapidIO protocol
for out-of-the-box cabling.
RF and Optical Interconnect Products: We offer high-performance and full-featured
RF signal path and optical interconnect products to complement our clocks and
timing, RapidIO, and other industry-leading devices from our rich communications
portfolio. Our comprehensive portfolio of performance-leading products includes
RF to intermediate frequency (IF) mixers, IF variable gain amplifiers (VGA),
digital step attenuators (DSA), digital pre-distortion (DPD) demodulators, IF
modulators, RF switches, laser drivers, optical retimers, optical transimpedance
amplifiers, and optical modulator drivers.
Computing, Consumer and Industrial Segment
The Computing, Consumer and Industrial segment includes clock generation and
distribution, high-performance server memory interface, wireless power, PCI
Express®, signal integrity, power management integrated circuits (PMIC),
video distribution and contribution, sensor signal conditioner, optical interconnect
solutions and sensing products for mobile, automotive and industrial solutions.
Consumer and Computing Timing Products: Our timing products consist of custom
and off-the-shelf solutions optimized for digital consumer and computing applications.
Consumer timing products include programmable timing devices that address in-system
programming and test and I/O translation. By directly enhancing design flexibility,
portability and reliability, these products also reduce inventory and test costs.
Our other consumer clocks include fanout and zero-delay buffers and spread-spectrum
clock generators.
We offer the industry’s largest portfolio of computing timing products
for all generations of motherboards. Our computing timing solutions offer a
unique combination of features and high performance, enabling leading-edge technologies,
such as PCI Express, as well as registered and load-reduced dual in-line memory
modules (RDIMMs and LRDIMMs). In addition, we offer synthesizer products and
provide customized clock solutions with optimized feature sets to meet the needs
of specific motherboards.
Memory Interface Products: The broad range of our products for RDIMMs and LRDIMMs
is a direct result of our significant experience in timing, high-speed serial
interface and logic technologies. We offer register and PLL chipsets to meet
the latest memory speed needs of server and workstation devices, including Double
Data Rate (DDR) memory technology.
PCI Express®: Our family of PCI Express® products is aimed at high-performance
server, storage, embedded and communications applications. Our PCIe Gen1, Gen2,
Gen3, and Gen4 devices include switches, repeaters, retimers, bridges, and advanced
PCIe timing products.
Power Management Solutions: Our power management portfolio includes the industry's
first true single-chip Qi-certified wireless power transmitter and Qi-compliant
wireless power receiver ICs, as well as dual-mode single-chip wireless power
receivers that support both the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) Qi and AirFuel
Inductive (formerly known as Power Matters Alliance or PMA) standards. We offer
an expanding selection of power management integrated circuits (PMICs), including
intelligent, scalable, distributed power management for portable multi-core
processors.
We are a leader in wireless power transmitter and receiver solutions for battery
charging applications, with proven expertise in developing solutions for both
magnetic induction and magnetic resonance technologies. Addressing all major
standards and technologies, our highly integrated and innovative transmitter
ICs are designed for use in wireless charging stations in homes, offices, libraries,
stores, public waiting areas, airports and airplane seats. Our receiver ICs
are targeted for use in portable devices and accessories. We participate in
all major industry associations and ecosystems, including the WPC and AirFuel
Alliance.
Signal Integrity Products: Computing and storage applications face increasing
signal integrity challenges as data rates continuously rise. The high-speed
I/O used in today’s systems make cost-effective and reliable PCB design
complicated. Our signal integrity products condition signals and help alleviate
constraints in computing, storage and communications applications.
Sensor Products: IDT has long developed and sold temperature sensors among its
memory interface products and our sensing portfolio continues to grow. IDT also
offers a wide array of sensors and sensor conditioning products that have a
proven record of capability in applications in automotive, industrial and consumer
end products. These sensing products, when aligned with IDT’s other world-class
solutions enable IDT to offer a larger platform solution to their customers
