This, combined this with a robust architecture offering the highest degree of flexibility, results is a highly programmable, lowest power retimer solution for network line card and backplane applications. An internal MUX connects each serial channel to enable fully redundant operation. The MUX enables an active serial link to be switched to the primary channel, while a protection serial link can be continuously monitored to insure its condition. If the active link fails, the protection link can be switched over through external control to ensure continued system operation. Each transmitter and receiver interface supports serial transmissions rates ranging from 1 Gbps to 3.2 Gbps. An on-chip phase lock loop (PLL) synthesizes the supplied reference clock to support the desired transmit rate, while clock and data recovery (CDR) units recover the receive rate clock for timing. The interface can support single-channel (octal) or dual-channel quad (XAUI) differential CML I/O. For high-speed serial copper connections, the device incorporates both transmit pre-emphasis on the transmit channels and receive equalization on the receive channels. Transmit pre-emphasis is programmable to improve the overall cable reach and compensate for electrical imperfections associated with traces and connectors. Receive equalization provides optimal performance over a variety of receive interfaces. Highly programmable test capabilities within the device support loopbacks using generators/checkers that provide PRBS 27 to 231 patterns along with IEEE802.3ae defined test patterns.
