The SMS Fully Integrated Gigabit Ethernet & Fibre Channel Transceiver Core is engineered for high-efficiency communication applications requiring robust performance. This core supports IEEE 802.3z compliance for Gigabit Ethernet over fiber and copper media, ensuring seamless integration with existing network infrastructures. Its design emphasizes full duplex operation, facilitated by a 10-bit controller interface for both transmit and receive data paths.
A discerning feature of this transceiver core is its precise clock recovery DLL and PLL architecture, crucial for high-speed data alignment and minimizing jitter. This robust clocking mechanism is complemented by high-speed drivers and low jitter PECL outputs, optimizing the core for performance in demanding networking environments.
Moreover, the core’s architecture supports advanced features such as programmable receive cable equalization and embedded Bit Error Rate Testing (BER). Its CMOS implementation reduces power consumption and enhances cost-efficiency, ensuring a compact fit in various system architectures.
