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).
