PM8355 Overview
Key Specifications
Description
The QuadPHY-II is a physical layer transceiver ideal for systems requiring high speed point-to-point communication 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.
Key Features
- 10Gbit/s, bi-directional, XAUI to XGMII link supporting the proposed IEEE 802.3ae (the standard is draft and is subject to change)
- Four independent 2.125, 2.5 and 3.125 Gbit/s Serdes for Fibre Channel, Infiniband, 10 GE line cards and highspeed backplane applications
- Half/Full rate mode selectable per channel
- Integrated serializer/ deserializer, clock synthesis, clock recovery and 8B/10B encode/decode logic
- Under 2 Watts typical power. PARALLEL I/O
