IRVINE, Calif., March 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadcom
Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader in
semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications,
today announced the industry's first 28 nanometer (nm) electronic
dispersion compensation (EDC) physical layer transceiver (PHY) with
support for long reach multimode (LRM). This latest addition to
Broadcom's industry-leading portfolio of 1/10/40GbE physical layer
devices delivers significant power savings while boosting
performance. Broadcom will showcase its latest innovations for high
speed interconnects at the OFC Technical Conference in Los Angeles, California, March 24-26. For more news, visit Broadcom's
Newsroom.
Demand for increased bandwidth for processing and transmission
of data is driving the need for higher performance and port density
with lower power per port. Broadcom's new PHY provides a 30 percent
reduction1 in power consumption together with an
enhanced feature set and a flexible footprint-compatible migration
path for enterprise and service provider networks seeking higher
performance and greater bandwidth capacity.
"With increasing bandwidth and traffic demands being placed on
the network, product migration to smaller geometries enabling
reduced power consumption continues to be critical to our
customers," said Lorenzo Longo,
Broadcom, Vice President and General Manager, Physical Layer
Products. "Broadcom is committed to continue investing in this
technology to roll out lower power EDC/LRM PHY devices with
advanced feature sets."
The BCM82780, based on EDC technology, enables 10/40GbE data
transmission with LRM support. It also handles short range (SR),
long range (LR) and extended range (ER and ZR) optical interfaces
for added flexibility supporting a broad range of high-bandwidth
applications. The multirate PHY is ideal for single mode fiber
(SMF), multi-mode fiber (MMF) or copper twin-axial applications on
the front panel. It features an all-DSP high-speed front end, which
provides the highest performance and flexibility for line-card
designers across 40GbE, 10GbE or 1GbE systems.
Key Features:
- Octal 10GbE SFI-to-XFI/Dual 40GbE XLPPI-to-XLAUI EDC PHY
- Low power: 400mW per full-duplex port
- Supports 10GbE SR/LR/LRM/ER/ZR/DWDM/CR and 40GbE
SR4/LR4/CR4
- IEEE 1588 timestamping, Y.1731
with Sync-E recovered clock outputs
- Integrated 2:1 failover switch in both transmit and receive
directions
- Advanced diagnostics on high-speed I/O including Eye-Mapping,
SNR and BER
- Fully compliant to KR and KR4 standards
