Features

  • Ten port full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet Controller with an industry standard POS-PHY Level 4 system interface.
  • Provides direct connection to optics.
  • Incorporates ten SERDES, compliant with the IEEE 802.3 1998 PMA physical layer specification.
  • Provides ten standard IEEE 802.3 Gigabit Ethernet MACs for frame verification.
  • Provides on-chip data recovery and clock synthesis.
  • Provides eight unicast exact-match address filters to filter frames based on DA, DA/VID, SA, or SA/VID.
  • Each address filter can indicate whether to accept or discard based on a match.
  • Provides 64-group multicast address filter.
  • Internal 64 kbyte Tx and 224 kbyte Rx FIFOs per channel provisionable in quantities of 1 kbyte to accommodate system latencies.
  • SATURN® compatible interface for Packet-Over-SONET Physical Layer and Link Layer devices Level 4 (POS-PHY Level 4 system interface).
  • Line side loopback for system level diagnostic capability.
  • 16 bit generic microprocessor interface for device initialization, control, register and per port statistics access.
  • GIGABIT ETHERNET MAC

  • Verifies frame integrity (FCS and length checks).
  • Errored frames can be filtered or passed to a higher layer device.
  • Automatic Base Page Autonegotiation, extended Autonegotiation (Next Page) supported via host.
  • Egress Ethernet frame encapsulation (pad to minimum size, add preamble, IFG and CRC generation).
  • Supports Ethernet 2.0, IEEE 802.3 LLC and IEEE 802.3 SNAP/LLC encoding formats, and VLAN tagged frames.
  • Minimum frame size 64 bytes.
  • Supports jumbo frames up to 9.6 kbytes.
  • Supports big endian data formats.
  • Programmable inter-packet gap (IPG).
  • Loopback for diagnostic capability through GMAC.
  • FLOW CONTROL

  • Option to support IEEE 802.3-1998 flow control at each Ethernet port.
  • Programmable watermarks for full/empty/starving FIFO conditions.
  • Automatic generation of pause frames based on FIFO fill levels.
  • Upper layer device can flow control Ethernet ports using side-band or host signaling to cause generation of a Pause frame.
  • Provides per-port side-band Pause state indication for upstream devices.
  • Loss-less flow control on all valid frames up to 9.6 kbytes.
  • STATISTICS

  • 40 bit counters are used to ensure rollover compliance with IEEE 802.3-1998.
  • Minimum 58 minutes before rollover.
  • Provides statistic counters to support SNMP and RMON implementations.
  • POS-PHY LEVEL 4 SYSTEM INTERFACE

  • Designed to transmit cells, packets, or frames between physical and data-link layer devices.
  • Requires fewer pins and draws less power than other 10 Gigabit interface options.
  • Compliant with the following standards:
    • ATM Forum – Frame Based ATM Interface Level 4 (ATMF0161.00).
    • Optical Internetworking Forum – System Physical Interface Level 4 Phase II (OIF2000.088).
  • PACKAGING

  • Flip Chip technology
  • Implemented in low power 1.8 V CMOS technology with 3.3 V compatible I/O.
  • Industrial temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C).
  • Provides a standard 5 signal P1149.1 JTAG test port for boundary scan board test purposes.

Applications

  • POS-PHY Level 4 provides consistent system interface for multiple PHY types.
  • Edge and Core Routers.
  • Multi-Service Switches.
  • SONET/SDH Transport Equipment.
