PM8353 4-Channel 1.0-1.25 Gbps Transceiver

The is a Quad PHYsical layer transceiver ideal for systems requiring large numbers of point-to-point gigabit links. It provides four individual serial channels capable of operation at up to 1.25 Gbps each, which may be grouped together to form a single 5.0 Gbps bidirectional link. Each of the four primary channels has a corresponding secondary channel that c.

Features

• Four independent 1.0-1.25 Gbit/s transceivers
• Four secondary channels to support channel redundancy
• Ultra low power operation: 1.25 Watt typical
• Integrated serializer/deserializer, clock synthesis, clock recovery, and 8B/10B encode/decode logic
• Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) logic for Gigabit Ethernet
• Selectable 8-bit, 10-bit, or IEEE 802.3z GMII parallel interface
• Optional Receive FIFOs which synchronize incoming data to local clock domain
• “Trunking” feature to de-skew and align received parallel data across four channels
• 100-156 MHz Single Data Rate (SDR) parallel transmit .
