GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The VSC8476 is a 10-gigabit Ethernet and 10-gigabit Fibre Channel serial transceiver, which provides a 10-gigabit attachment unit interface (XAUI) I/O, 8b/10b encoders/decoders, 10-gigabit media-independent interface (XGMII) I/O, 64b/66b encoding/decoding, gearbox function, 16:1 mux/demux, and high-speed I/O. With these functions, the VSC8476 implements the IEEE 802.3ae and T11 10 GFC XGMII extender sublayer (XGXS or PHY XS), physical coding sublayer (PCS), and physical medium attachment (PMA).
The VSC8476 supports the 10.3 Gbps and the 10.5 Gbps rates as defined by IEEE 802.3ae and T11 10 GFC. All specifications refer to the higher 10.5 Gbps rate for consistency; the lower 10 Gb E rate is identified with parenthesis (10.3 Gbps). The device can operate using 1.2 V supply for optimal power and 1.5 V supply for the XGMII interface, dissipating a typical power of only 1.2 W. The VSC8476 is available in a 17 mm ×...
