BCM8022 Block Diagram
The BCM8022 device integrates four retimer channels, leveraging
Broadcom’s high-performance mixed signal design experience along
with advanced 0.13µ CMOS process technology. This, combined with a
robust architecture offering the highest degree of flexibility, results in a
highly programmable, lowest power retimer solution for network linecard and backplane applications.
The BCM8022 was designed to support the new IEEE802.3ak (draft)
standard developed for transmitting high-speed 10-GbE data over
relatively short distances of low-cost copper media, up to 15 meters of
4X InfiniBand cable. The BCM8022 can be leveraged inside copperbased modules designed with easy plug ability similar to XENPAK or
XPAK/X2 type modules or within discrete solutions directly on the line
card.
The high-speed serial I/O of the BCM8022 supports transmission 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 (single clock
domain) or quad (XAUI/CX4) differential CML I/O.
For high-speed serial copper connections, the BCM8022 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 exist within the BCM8022 to
support high-speed loopbacks using generators/checkers that support
PRBS 27 to 231 patterns along with IEEE802.3ae-defined test patterns.
A complete evaluation kit, including an evaluation board, related
software, and documentation is available upon request.
