Cypress Semiconductor Corp. today made available samples of the first chip from its family of programmable serial interface (PSI) backplane chips, claiming it is the first 2.5Gbit/sec programmable PHY. Cypress' PSI2G100 combines a 2.5 Gbit/sec serial link, 100k gates of programmable logic, and 0.5Mbit of communications memory, targeting system backplanes across a broad range of market segments, including InfiniBand.
