The SMS Fully Integrated Gigabit Ethernet & Fibre Channel Transceiver Core is a state-of-the-art solution embedded with advanced high-speed serial front-end features. This transceiver includes essential components such as high-speed drivers, robust clock recovery DLLs, and PLL architectures. An integrated Serializer/Deserializer (SERDES) unit and sophisticated data alignment capabilities ensure high-performance data transmission. A distinctive low jitter PECL and comma detect function enhance data integrity, making it a reliable choice for high-bandwidth data communications applications. Engineered for compliance with the IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet standards, this transceiver core supports full-duplex operations and employs a 10-bit controller interface for both receive and transmit data paths. The inclusion of programmable receive cable equalization diminishes the need for external components, thus streamlining the integration process into System-On-Chip (SOC) designs. The design prioritizes cost, power efficiency, and performs well over a diverse range of operating environments.
