I need to replace two obsolete Vitesse parts that Microsemi no longer makes. They are fairly simple, mixed signal/RF parts that one design shop said they could make in 65 nm TSMC CyberShuttle, they own the IP and have a package that will work, but they want over $1M for a minimum first run. That is beyond what I afford.
If you are interested, the parts are the VSC1237 and VSC1238, a 10 Gbps 16:1 MUX and a 10 Gbps CDR and 1:16 DEMUX. There is no Ethernet logic in them, they are just bare bones MUX and CDR/DEMUX. We take care of everything else in other parts. (The datasheets require a Microsemi account to download, so I do not think I can post them here.) An FPGA transceiver has much too much latency for this particular board.
Anyone know of a design shop that would do good work and could come in under $500K for a minimum first run?
