AND FOR ITS CUSTOMERS’ INTERNAL USE

All rights reserved. 

4-Port Gigabit Ethernet and 1/2G Fibre Channel Repeater or Retimer

GENERAL

• Supports four physical interfaces for 

Gigabit Ethernet at 1.25 Gbit/s per 
IEEE 802.3z or Fibre Channel physical 
interfaces at 1.0625 or 2.125 Gbit/s per 
Fibre Channel Physical Interface (FC-
PI) for repeating or retiming 
applications.

• Backplane repeating/retiming signal 

integrity features enable standards 
compliance, link extension and robust 
gigabit-serial operation in the hostile 
backplane environment.

• Provides direct connection to high-

speed serial backplanes, coax 
stacking cables, or optical / copper 
Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) 
modules.

• Provides non-blocking cross-bar for 

protection switching and data bi-cast, 
multi-cast or broadcast.

• Fast high-speed serial lock times and 

low device latency.

• Rate detection/auto-selection between 

1G and 2G Fibre Channel.

• Extensive per port backplane 

monitoring for loss of signal, error rates, 
and link level violations.

• Supports single-ended or differential 

125 MHz reference clock for Gigabit 
Ethernet, or 106.25 MHz reference 
clock for Fibre Channel applications.

HIGH-SPEED INTERFACE

• High-speed outputs with selectable 

output amplitude and programmable 
pre-emphasis per port to counteract 
dielectric losses and allow maximum 
reach on printed circuit boards and 
cables.

• Programmable receive input 

equalization provides robust data 
recovery of highly degraded input 
signals.

• Minimal board footprint and exceptional 

signal integrity achieved: 

No external components are required 
to interface the high-speed signals 
due to internal AC coupling.

Programmable receive input 
termination of 100 ohm or 150 ohm 
differential.

Programmable output impedance of 
100 ohm or 150 ohm differential.

TEST AND CONTROL

• Digital loss of link (DLOL) detect pin 

provides status output for monitoring 
individual or multiple links.

• DLOL and optional interrupt pin can be 

programmed to indicate:

Analog loss of signal.

Excessive 8B/10B code and disparity 
violations.

Fibre Channel comma density.

• Loss of synchronization to detect 

Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel 
framing errors.

• Internal packet generator and 

comparator features simplify backplane 
and jitter testing via:

Programmable pattern (can be used 
with GE high, low and mixed 
frequency tests).
