This highly integrated core from Soft Mixed Signal Corporation combines advanced technologies to deliver a robust gigabit Ethernet transceiver designed for both fiber and copper mediums. The transceiver is compliant with IEEE 802.3z standards and incorporates unique features such as a 10-bit controller interface for bidirectional data paths, ensuring reliable and fast data transmission.
It integrates various high-speed drivers along with clock recovery digital logic, phase-locked and delay-locked loop architectures, serializer/deserializer modules, and low-jitter PECL interfaces. This makes it an ideal solution for network systems requiring consistent performance under demanding conditions.
The transceiver is tailored for low cost and low power CMOS processes, offering both 75 and 50 Ohm termination compatibility, and includes optional embedded Bit Error Rate Testing (BER), enhancing its utility in complex environments. It is mainly designed to optimize data alignment and ensure effective jitter performance, positioning it as a distinctive asset for advanced Ethernet networking solutions.
