WIDEBAND SEMICONDUCTOR - MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA

Wideband Semiconductor is dedicated to producing high-performance cost-effective devices to keep our customers on the leading edge of their industries. Toward this goal, as Wideband Semiconductor finds that customer usage of its IC Core designs acquire standard usage and design, we will produce a superset standard ASIC product available as an off-the-shelf component. Our line of Reed Solomon Decoder and Encoder/Decoder product line is typical of this commitment.
	WSC5128A Programmable Reed Solomon FEC Decoder The WSC52128A is a modern high data rate programmable Forward Error Correction device that can decode Reed-Solomon code blocks of up to 255 eight bit data symbols. It provides corrections of up to 10 symbol errors per block at data rates up to 320 Mbps. Blocks with excessive errors are uncorrectable and are so flagged with data outputted as received.

	WSC5130A Programmable Reed Solomon FEC Encoder / Decoder The WSC5130A contains both a high data rate programmable Reed-Solomon encoder and a separate decoder that will process blocks of up to 255 eight bit symbols to provide corrections of up to 10 errors per code block at data rates up to 320 Mbps. The encoder output code block contains the unaltered original data symbols followed by the generated parity symbols. The decoder input will contain the received data symbols including errors that may be introduced during transmission. Decoder output consists of a completely corrected block or will be marked as non-correctable and the block will be outputted as received without any changes. The encoder and decoder may be operated independently. Either or both may active at one time. As the devices have separate clocks, the encoder and decoder may operate at different data rates and different parity byte lengths. Data Sheet \| Spec Sheet
