Press Release Summary:
Supplied in 5 x 5 mm package, PHY1068 is designed for extended reach in 8.5 Gbps backplane and copper cable applications. Integrated input AGC stage lends to sensitivity suited for noise limited links, while equalizer enables extraction of data from signals degraded by dispersion or reflections typical of backplane environments. Along with auto detect 2-wire or SPI MCU interface, features include 15 ns latency, integrated PRBS and BERT, as well as loss of signal/lock alarms.
Original Press Release:
PHY1068; Fibre Channel Active Equaliser and Retimer
The PHY1068 is an active equalizer and retiming driver with programmable pre-emphasis designed for greatly extended reach in 8.5Gbps backplane and copper cable applications.
The PHY1068 integrates an input AGC stage, making it sensitive enough for noise limited links, whilst its powerful equalizer means it can extract data from signals degraded by dispersion or reflections typical of backplane environments.
The high level of integration reduces the required board area and complexity of firmware development, minimising cost and time to market.
The provision of programmable pre-emphasis on the device output driver enables the PHY1068 to be used in a wide variety of applications.
Manufactured in an advanced CMOS process, the PHY1068 is packaged in a RoHS compliant package.
