Marvell® AQRATE GEN4 Ethernet PHYs
10GBASE-T/5GBASE-T/2.5GBASE-T/1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-Te Ethernet PHYs
Overview
The Marvell® AQrate GEN4 PHYs are low-power, full-reach,
high-performance, multi-gigabit 10GBASE-T/5GBASE-
T/2.5GBASE-T/1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-Te Ethernet
PHY transceivers. These high-performance devices enable the
broad-based market adoption of multi-gigabit network
connectivity through a wide range of cable types including Cat
5e, Cat 6, and Cat 6a. AQrate PHYs are compliant with the IEEE
802.3bz standard PHY Specification to perform all the physical
layer functions that are required to implement 10GBASE-
T/5GBASE-T/ 2.5GBASE-T/1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-Te
transmission over more than 100 meters of twisted pair
cabling. AQrate bridges the bandwidth gap between 1 Gbps
data rates and new applications that demand bandwidth in
excess of 1 Gbps with zero changes to legacy cabling or
infrastructure. The Marvell® AQrate is a game changing
technology enabling higher-speed connectivity solutions for
Enterprise, Data Center, SMB/SOHO, Carrier, Automotive, and
ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) markets. The product family
integrates features as Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), Precision
Time Protocol (PTP)/1588v2, IEEE MAC Security (MACsec),
supports all PoE standards up to 100W, and supports jumbo
packets up to 16KB in all operating modes.
Octal
The AQR813/AQR814/AQR815 are pin-compatible, multi-
gigabit, octal-port PHYs housed in 24 mm x 12 mm flip-chip
BGA packages enabling efficient, high-density design for high
port-count switches across a range of speed requirements.
Quad
The AQR413C/AQR414C/AQR415C are pin-compatible, multi-
gigabit, quad-port PHYs housed in 14 mm x 12 mm flip-chip
BGA packages enabling efficient, flexible design for high
port-count and compact switches across a range of speed
requirements.
Single
The single-port devices are available in compact 7 mm x 7 mm
or 7 mm x 11 mm flip-chip BGA packages. AQR113/AQR114/
AQR115 and AQR113C/AQR114C/AQR115C are pin-
compatible within the same package featuring multi-gigabit to
address multiple network connectivity applications and speed
requirements, and available in Industrial (-40°C to +108°C)
temperature operating range as well as the Commercial (0°C to
+108°C) temperature operating range.
