BCM8020 Block Diagram
The BCM8020 device integrates eight independent serializer/
deserializer (SerDes) channels leveraging Broadcom’s highperformance 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 SerDes solution for network line-card and
backplane applications.
On the serial side of the device, transmitters and receivers support 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 singlechannel (octal) or dual-channel quad (XAUI) differential CML I/O.
An internal switch connects the parallel and serial ports to enable fully
redundant operation. The switch enables an active serial link to be
switched to the parallel interface, while a protection serial link can be
continuously monitored to ensure its condition. If the active link fails, the
protection link can be instantly switched through external control to the
parallel interface.
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.
On the parallel side of the device, transmitters and receivers interface
with either 5-bit (RTBI) or 10-bit (TBI) wide data on each channel or can
be configured to interface to 32-bit wide data (XGMII) along with the
clock and control signals. The low-speed I/O supports HSTL (1.5V or
1.8V) or SSTL_2 (2.5V) interfaces.
Highly programmable test capabilities exist within the device to support
high-speed and low-speed loopback using generators/checkers that
support PRBS 27 to 231 patterns along with IEEE 802.3™ae-defined
test patterns. A complete evaluation kit, including an evaluation board,
related software, and documentation is available upon request.
