- Suitable for proprietary serial links (virtual ribbon cable)
- Implements 8b/10b encoding and decoding
- Implements ordered set encoding and decoding
- Checks and generates 32-bit CRC and parity
- 10-bit TTL-patible interface to Transmitter and Receiver
- 32-bit interface to the host
- Fully synchronous operation
- 160-pin PQFP
The TQ9303 ENDEC (ENcoder/DECoder) implements 8b/10b encoding and decoding, ordered set encoding and decoding, and parity checking and generation as defined in the Fibre Channel Physical Signaling Interface Standard (FC-PH). The ENDEC fully implements the FC-1 layer of the Fibre Channel Standard. Implemented in a 0.8-micron CMOS process, the ENDEC also performs 32-bit CRC checking and generation as defined in the FC-2 layer of the Fibre Channel specification. The TQ9303 ENDEC interfaces directly to Tri Quint’s FC-0 layer Fibre Channel Transmitter (Tx) and Receiver (Rx) chipsets at the speeds shown below:
FC Rate
FC-266 FC-531 FC-1063
Transmitter
GA9101 TQ9501 TQ9501
Receiver
GA9102 TQ9502 TQ9502
Data Rate (Mbaud)
194- 266 500- 625 1000- 1250
Triquint’s Transmitter and Receiver devices are designed with Tri Quint’s proprietary 0.7-micron Ga As process. The Tx and Rx interface directly to copper-based electrical media or to a fiber-optic module. The Transmitter performs parallel-to-serial conversion on the encoded data and generates the internal high-speed clock for the serial output data stream. The Receiver recovers the clock and data from the input serial stream, performs serialto-parallel conversion, and detects and aligns on the K28.5 character.
