Hewlett-Packard HDMP-0422
The HDMP-0422 is a Single Port Bypass Circuit (PBC) with Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) capability included. This integrated circuit provides a low-cost, lowpower physical-layer solution for Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) disk array configurations. By using a PBC such as the HDMP0422, hard disks may be pulled out or swapped while other disks in the array are available to the system.FEATURES

DESCRIPTION
A PBC consists of multiple 2:1 multiplexers daisy chained along with a CDR. Each port has two modes of operation: “disk in loop” and “disk bypassed.” When the “disk in loop” mode is selected, the loop goes into and out of the disk drive at that port. For example, data goes from the HDMP-0422’s TO_NODE[n]± differential output pins to the Disk Drive Transceiver IC’s (e.g. an HDMP-1636A) Rx differential input pins.
