BCM8727CIFBG [Broadcom]

The BCM8727 is a multirate PHY targeted for SMF, MMF, or copper twin-ax applications interfacing to both limiting-based and linear-based SFP+ and SFP modules. It is fully compliant to the 10-GbE IEEE 802.3aq standard and supports 1000BASE-X for 1-GbE operation. Developed using an all-DSP high-speed front-end, it provides high performance and flexibility for line-card designers, with an on-chip microcontroller implementing control algorithms for the DSP core. It includes functions such as 8B/10B coding, 64B/66B coding, SerDes, Clock Multiplication Unit (CMU), and Clock and Data Recovery (CDR). The device is available in a 19 mm x 19 mm BGA package with footprint compatibility to the BCM8726.
