A P P L I C A T I O N S :
L O W P O W E R :
` Exceptionally low power (700 mW LAN mode or 750 mW WAN mode) allows for higher port
densities
` 10 Gbps Ethernet LAN/WAN switches, routers,
and router to WAN interconnects
W I D E R A N G E O F S U P P O R T:
` 10 Gbps Ethernet network interface cards
` Fully compatible with IEEE 802.3ae and T11 10 GFC
` 10 Gbps Fibre Channel host bus adapters and
switches
` Extended-WIS (E-WIS) provides full Clause 50 support and enables transport over existing
SONET networks
` 10 Gbps serial interface exceeds all SONET and 10 GbE requirements
S P E C I F I C A T I O N S :
` 4 x 3.125 Gbps and 3.182 Gbps XAUI I/O enable interconnection with a wide range of Layer-2
devices
` Total power: 750 mW
` Supply voltage: 1.2 V
` Seamless connectivity to XFP and SFP+ modules
` 10 Gbps receiver exceeds all 10 GbE stressed eye requirements
T O O L S F O R R A P I D D E S I G N :
` Multiple loopback modes and built-in self test (BIST) capabilities reduce system development
costs, enable manufacturing tests, and improve time to market
` JTAG access port facilitates boundary scan for in-circuit test to improve board yield
` Single 1.2 voltage for the whole chip with optional power supply range (1.2 V, 1.8 V, and 3.3 V)
for the TTL interface
F L E X I B I L I T Y :
` XAUI I/O programmability for lane swap, invert, amplitude, pre-emphasis, and equalization
` KX4-compatible 3 Gbps I/O for long-reach copper interconnect provides additional margin to
traverse connectors and the backplane up to 40 inches
` Extended-PCS (E-PCS) mode with forward error correction (FEC) auto-negotiation allows
extended reach over single-mode and multimode fiber with 10–15 error floor
` Enhanced de-emphasis and equalization compensates for connector and channel losses and
makes the device SFP+ compatible
` Accessibility of the recovered clock from high speed input and separate clock paths for CMU
and CRU enable Layer 1 support for Synchronous Ethernet
` XGMII interface enables the device to be used in a roll-over redundant link application to
provide fault tolerance
