BCM84833

Dual-Port 10GBASE-T Transceiver

The BCM84833 is a complete two-port 100/1000/10GBASE-T solution operating at 100m over CAT6a or CAT7 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It is based on a highly advanced digital signal processor-based architecture to allow robust operation over UTP wiring. It is a highly integrated solution combining enhanced analog front ends with digital adaptive equalizers, ADCs, phase-locked loops, line drivers, LDPC encoders and decoders, echo cancellers, crosstalk cancellers, and all required support circuitry.

The BCM84833 is optimized to enable switch, controller, and other general 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity applications. Each port in the BCM84833 contains one XFI interface and two XAUI™ interfaces. Any one of these interfaces can be connected on the MAC side or line side. One of the four lanes on each XAUI interface is reserved to support the SGMII interface, which offers lower speed 100/1000BASE-T operation. This dual port enables customers to design high-density Top of the Rack (ToR) switches and server NIC controllers for data center applications.

  • Fully integrated two-port 10GBASE-T Ethernet transceiver
  • Supports lower speeds: 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T
  • Simplifies system and board design by reducing PCB space and lowering system bill of materials (BOM)
  • Provides interoperability with IEEE standard devices operating at 100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps, and 10 Gbps
