PM8355 Description
The QuadPHY-II is a physical layer transceiver ideal for systems requiring high speed point-to-point munication links. It is applicable for PMAPMD connections in 10 GE, Infiniband 1 or 4 x 2.5 Gbit/s links, 1 and 2 Gbit/s Fibre Channel, as well as high speed serial backplanes for high capacity systems. SERIAL I/O Redundant high speed serial I/O channels for convenient switching to redundant fabric.
PM8355 Key Features
- Extensive control of loopback, BIST, and operating modes via 802.3 pliant MDC/MDIO serial interface
- On-chip packet generator/checkerprovides at-speed diagnostics
- Built-in error counters per channel
- Support for IEEE 1149.1 JTAG testing on all pins
- 10Gbit/s, bi-directional, XAUI to XGMII link supporting the proposed IEEE 802.3ae (the standard is draft and is subject
- Four independent 2.125, 2.5 and 3.125 Gbit/s Serdes for Fibre Channel, Infiniband, 10 GE line cards and highspeed backpl
