VSC8476 Overview
Key Specifications
Description
The VSC8476 is a 10-gigabit Ethernet and 10-gigabit Fibre Channel serial transceiver, which provides a 10-gigabit attachment unit interface (XAUI) I/O, 8b/10b encoders/decoders, 10-gigabit media-independent interface (XGMII) I/O, 64b/66b encoding/decoding, gearbox function, 16:1 mux/demux, and high-speed I/O. With these functions, the VSC8476 implements the IEEE 802.3ae and T11 10 GFC XGMII extender sublayer (XGXS or PHY XS), physical coding sublayer (PCS), and physical medium attachment (PMA).
