Product Summary

The PM8358-NG is a physical layer transceiver ideal for systems requiring high speed point-to-point communication links. The PM8358-NG is applicable for PMAPMD connections in 10 GE, Infiniband 1 or 4 x 2.5 Gbit/s links, 1 and 2 Gbit/s Fibre Channel, as well as high speed serial backplanes for high capacity systems. The applications of the PM8358-NG include High speed serial backplanes, 10 GE links, Fibre Channel transceivers, Infiniband transceivers, XAUI retimers, Intra-system interconnect.

Features

PM8358-NG features: (1)10Gbit/s, bi-directional, XAUI to XGMII link supporting the proposed IEEE 802.3ae (the standard is draft and is subject to change); (2)Four independent 2.125, 2.5 and 3.125 Gbit/s Serdes for Fibre Channel, Infiniband, 10 GE line cards and highspeed backplane applications; (3)Half/Full rate mode selectable per channel; (4)Integrated serializer/ deserializer, clock synthesis, clock recovery and 8B/10B encode/decode logic; (5)Under 2 Watts typical power.
