This reference manual explains the functionality of the MC92603 Quad Gigabit Ethernet
transceivers (GEt) and enables its use by software and hardware developers. The audience
for this publication, therefore, consists of hardware designers and application programmers
who are building data path switches and high-speed backplane intercommunication
applications.
1.1
Overview
The Gigabit Ethernet transceiver was designed with the intent to meet the requirements of
IEEE Std. 802.3—2002
®
. It was designed to fully support full-duplex GMII or TBI PHY
applications including the reduced RGMII or RTBI defacto interfaces. Each channel also
has its own independent MDIO register set as specified in the above standard.
The MC92603 GEt is designed as four parts in one. It may be configured as either a
1 Gigabit backplane serializer/deserializer (SerDes) with functionally similar to the
1.25 Gbaud Quad SerDes (MC92600), or as a Quad 1 Gigabit Ethernet PHY and the
reduced interface versions of these two.
The GEt is a high-speed, full-duplex, serial data interface device that can be used to
transmit data between chips across a board, through a backplane, or through cabling, as well
as to interface to GBIC/SFP modules. The multi-channel device has transceivers that
transmit and receive coded data at a rate of 1.0 Gbps through each 1.25 gigabaud link.
The MC92603 is built on the proven transceiver technology of the MC92600 and MC92602
devices. Carefully designed for low-power consumption, its CMOS implementation
nominally consumes less than 1 W with all links operating at full speed when in the
backplane interface mode.
