STMicroelectronics FC106
The FC106 Fibre Channel transceiver chip implements the lower layer protocols of the ANSI X3.230-1994 Fibre Channel standard. The Fibre Channel standard specifies the mapping of various upper layer protocols (ULP) such as SCSI, IP and HiPPI to a common lower layer protocol, together with appropriate electrical and optical high performance specifications. The FC106 implements the Fibre Channel electrical transceiver physical layer specification for 1.0625 Gbit/s.FEATURES
