VSC7280VS-03 [MICROSEMI]

The VSC7280 is a Dual XAUI – Dual XGMII Transceivers tailored for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) and 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel (10GFC) applications. The feature set and flexibility of these devices make them perfectly suited for Backplane and other Serial Interconnect applications such as Serial Rapid I/O, PCI Express and XAUI. With eight channels of serial transmitter/receiver pairs, these transceivers can deliver a duplex data rate of greater than 40 Gbps. These serial channels can be configured for independent operation, as two fully 10GbE/10GFC compliant XAUI serial buses, or a combination thereof. The parallel bus is fully XGMII compliant. When independent channel operation is required, the parallel bus can be configured for either 8- or 10-bit operation with the ability to enable or bypass the internal 8B/10B encoders/decoders.
