Product Brief
Marvell® Alaska® C MV-CHX9340P
Dual 800G, Quad 400G, Octal 200G, 16 port 100G Ethernet Transceiver with MACsec
and Class C PTP
Overview
The Marvell® Alaska® C MV-CHX9340P is the industry’s highest-
performance and lowest-power single-chip 800 GbE PAM4 PHY
transceiver capable of driving eight lanes of 106 Gbps PAM4 to
support SR, DR, FR and LR optical links. The device performs
IEEE 802.1AE MACsec encryption functionality for two ports of
800 GbE, four ports of 400 GbE, eight ports of 200 GbE or
sixteen ports of 100 GbE. It also supports Class C PTP
timestamping functionality as defined by IEEE 1588 v2
specifications. The device supports full duplex transmission at
all supported speeds, over a variety of media including optics,
passive direct attach (DAC) cables, active electric (AEC) cables
and backplanes.
necessary FEC termination and regeneration capabilities for all
FEC types including Clause-134 RS (544, 514), Clause-91 and
Clause108 RS (528, 514) RS-FEC, and FC (2212, 2080) FEC.
The MV-CHX9340P has a fully symmetric architecture supports
Auto-Negotiation and coefficient training capabilities on both
host and line interfaces to provide complete system design
flexibility, the AN/LT implementation is fully compliant to the
IEEE 802.3 to support operation over KR backplanes and CR
passive copper cables. The device is designed with a full 16x16
SerDes crossbar to support port multiplexing applications.
Internal registers can be accessed via an MDIO/MDC serial
management interface which is compliant with the IEEE 802.3
specification (Clause 45).
The device is targeted to next generation high density
networking solutions based on 100G serial electrical signaling
that requires MACsec, IPsec, PTP or Hitless Mux functionalities.
The device also supports a variety of gearboxing modes to
translate between 10G/25G NRZ, 50G PAM4 and 100G PAM4
modes for 800 GbE, 400 GbE, 200 GbE and 100 GbE, with the
The MV-CHX9340P is packaged in a 27 mm x 27 mm 841-pin
FCBGA package with 0.9mm ball pitch.
