Ethernet transceiver
10 Gbps | VSC8486
Vitesse Semiconductor
transceiver that converts 3 Gbps XAUI data to a
10 Gbps serial stream. At just 750 mW, the VSC8486
is ideal for applications requiring low power. The
device is also equipped with an additional full-rate
data port that can be utilized for bypass monitoring
or channel monitoring applications. The device
meets all specifications for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Layer-1 processing,
as defined in IEEE 802.3ae.
The VSC8486 offers exceptional 10 Gbps mixed-signal performance with
a data output that features programmable pre-emphasis to enable longer
traces of copper. The VSC8486 high-speed serial I/O supports 9.9 Gbps,
10.3 Gbps, and 10.5 Gbps, as defined by IEEE 802.3ae and T11 10 GFC,
and is fully compliant with the SONET jitter specification defined by
Bellcore GR253.
