General Description
The VSC7105/VSC7106 chipset is patible with the ANSI X3T11 Fibre Channel Standard. Fibre Channel is a high speed munication channel standardized by ANSI for mapping upper layer protocols (ULP) such as SCSI, IP, and HIPPI. Fibre Channel can then provide a channel over which concurrent munication of all ULP’s may exist on a single interconnect between workstations, mainframes, and superputers, and for connection to mass storage devices and other peripherals. The Fibre Channel physical layer is also ideal for building cost effective, very high speed point-to-point munications links.
This chipset implements the Fibre Channel electrical transceiver physical layer for 1.0625 Gb/s operation. At 1.0625 Gb/s, Fibre Channel delivers 100 MByte/s of data bandwidth over a single cable. This bandwidth equals or exceeds most bus bandwidths. This chipset performs the high speed serialization and de-serialization function that makes bus-bandwidth, serial munication possible. This chipset can drive electrical cables directly or interface with optical modules.
