BCM8727 Block Diagram
The BCM8727 is a dual-channel 10-GbE SFI-to-XAUI transceiver that
incorporates an Electronic Dispersion Compensation (EDC) equalizer
supporting SFP+ line-card applications.
The BCM8727 is a multirate PHY targeted for SMF, MMF, or copper
twin-ax applications interfacing to both limiting-based and linear-based
SFP+ and SFP modules. The BCM8727 is fully compliant to the 10-GbE
IEEE 802.3aq standard and also supports 1000BASE-X for 1-GbE
operation.
The BCM8727 is developed using an all-DSP high-speed front-end
providing the highest performance and most flexibility for line-card
designers. An on-chip microcontroller implements the control algorithm
for the DSP core.
On-chip clock synthesis is performed by the high-frequency, low-jitter,
Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) for the PMD and XAUI output retimers.
Individual PMD and XAUI clock recovery is performed on the device by
synchronizing directly to the respective incoming data streams. An
external 156.25 MHz reference clock input is required for each port.
The BCM8727 Ethernet LRM PHY device is a fully integrated SerDes
(10.3125 Gbps) interface device performing the extension functions for
a 10-Gigabit serial Ethernet Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) interface. The
XGXS, PCS, and PMA functions include 8B/10B coding, 64B/66B
coding, SerDes, Clock Multiplication Unit (CMU), and Clock and Data
Recovery (CDR).
The BCM8727 is available in a 19 mm x 19 mm, 1 mm pitch, 324-pin
BGA, RoHS-compliant package. The BCM8727 supports a footprintcompatible layout with the BCM8726 dual LRM PHY.
