BCM8155

Multirate Low-Power 10-GbE RZ/NRZ/Duo-binary Transceiver with 10G Clock

The BCM8155 is a fully integrated MSA-compatible multirate SONET/SDH/10-GbE/Fibre-Channel/FEC transceiver operating at 8.5 Gbps, 9.1 Gbps, 9.953 Gbps, 10.3125 Gbps, 10.519 Gbps, 10.664 Gbps, 10.709 Gbps, 11.095 Gbps, 11.318 Gbps, or 11.352 Gbps. It supports RZ, NRZ, and duo-binary modulation formats.

On-chip clock synthesis is performed by a high-frequency, low-jitter PLL, allowing the use of a low-frequency reference clock selectable to the line rate divided by 16 or 64. The 10G TX clock phase adjusts for clocked driver applications.

  • Fully integrated multirate CDR, DEMUX, MUX, CMU
  • 300-pin Multisource Agreement (MSA) compatible
  • Enhanced capability for long haul transmission with the ability to enable RZ modulation on the transmitter
  • Compliant with OIF, Telcordia®, ITU-T, XFI specification, and IEEE 802.3ae standards
