Xilinx ships 10Gbps CMOS transceiver family

Xilinx Inc. has announced the release of its RocketPHY family of PHY transceivers, making the manufacturer the first programmable logic supplier to deliver CMOS solutions at 10Gbps that meet SONET-compliant jitter.

Designed for the MAN, WAN, LAN, and SAN markets, the transceivers meet OC-192 SONET/SDH, STM064, FEC (G.709), 10GbE, and emerging 10Gb Fibre Channel standards. It supports optical transponder modules such as 300-pin MSAs, as well as XFP modules.

The RocketPHY transceivers operate between 9.95Gbps and 10.71Gbps, and have fully integrated clock multiplication unit and clock/data recovery circuitry.

The family consists of the XGC1120-RocketPHY 10G Ultra MSA which supports SONET OC-192, SDH STM-64, G.709, 10GbE and 10Gb Fibre Channel applications; the XGC1121-RocketPHY 10Gb SONET/SDH which supports SONET OC-192, SDH-STM-64, applications; and the XGC1320-RocketPHY 10GbE/FC which supports the 10GbE and 10Gb Fibre Channel applications.

They are available for sample now and are offered in a 256 PBGA package.
