Description
The is a Quad PHYsical layer transceiver ideal for systems requiring large numbers of point-to-point gigabit links.
It provides four individual serial channels capable of operation at up to 1.25 Gbps each, which may be grouped together to form a single 5.0 Gbps bidirectional link.
Features
- Four independent 1.0-1.25 Gbit/s transceivers.
- Four secondary channels to support channel redundancy.
- Ultra low power operation: 1.25 Watt typical.
- Integrated serializer/deserializer, clock synthesis, clock recovery, and 8B/10B encode/decode logic.
- Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) logic for Gigabit Ethernet.
- Selectable 8-bit, 10-bit, or IEEE 802.3z GMII parallel interface.
- Optional Receive FIFOs which synchronize incoming data to loca.
