4-Channel 3.125-GbE CMOS Transceiver
The BCM8011 chip provides an aggregate bandwidth of 10-Gbps fullduplex, extending Ethernet capabilities into the Wide Area Network (WAN). The BCM8011 integrates four channels of the Broadcom FusionCore™ - a high-performance mixed-signal transceiver core, capable of transmitting and receiving data at 3.125 Gigabits per second (Gbps).
The chip also supports Broadcom's EyeOpener™ adaptive equalizer, which improves overall cable reach and compensates for the electrical imperfections associated with the copper traces and connectors.
- Product Brief
BCM8011
- Support for four channels of 3.125 GigaBaud per second (GBd) resulting in an effective aggregate data rate of 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps)
- Support for the 10 Gigabit attachment unit (XAUI) and 10 Gigabit media independent interface (XGMII) proposed by the IEEE 802.3ae standards
- Enables data transfer rate of 10 Gbps over metropolitan network when used with wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) or XAUI interface to a serial 10-Gbps laser module.
- Ultra-low transmitter jitter on each channel results in a longer cable reach (in excess of 40 km).
