PM8374A DualPHY 1G

Released

2-channel 933 Mbit/s to 1.25 Gbits/s Transceiver

FEATURES
GENERAL
Two 933 Mbits/s to 1.25 Gbits/s IEEE 802.3-2000 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel Physical Interfaces (FC-PI) System Compliant Transceivers. Two secondary serial channels for redundant system design. Integrated clock synthesis, clock recovery, serializer/deserializer, builtin self-test, 8B/10B codec and IEEE 802.3-2000 Gigabit Ethernet Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) logic. Rate matching via IDLE character insertion and deletion capable of compensating up to 200 ppm of clock difference between channels. Pin programmable or software configurable operation using 2-pin IEEE 802.3 MDC/MDIO serial management interface. Supports pin-programmable hardware only device configuration.

SERIAL INTERFACE
High-speed outputs feature programmable output current to optimize drive distance and power directly drives 50 ohm (100 ohm differential) systems. Integrated 100 ohm differential resistive termination for a smaller solution footprint, easier layout and improved signal integrity. Direct AC coupled interface to copper serial backplanes, optics and coaxial cable. Low threshold receive differential input threshold.

Receive channel output clocks eliminate the need for PLLs in interface ASICs 1.8 V and 2.5 V interoperable; 3.3 V tolerant.

TEST FEATURES
IEEE 1149.1 JTAG Boundary Scan support. Built-in self-test (BIST) via internal packet generator/checker. Per-channel control of serial and parallel loopbacks. 8B/10B error counters.

PHYSICAL
Ultra-low power operation using 0.18 um CMOS technology. Thermally enhanced, 289-pin BGA package, 19 mm x 19 mm. 1.8 V core and analog power. I/O voltage configurable as 2.5 V or 1.8 V. Designed to operate over a wide temperature range (-40 to +85 C) and is suited for central office and outside plant equipment.

PARALLEL INTERFACE
Supports GMII and TBI (Ten-bit Interface) standards. Single Data Rate (SDR) parallel interface with synchronous receive clock (clock forwarding). Half Rate Receive Clock Mode that supports Dual Data Rate.
