IXF18104

product brief Intel IXF18104 ® 10 Gigabit LAN PHY www.datasheet4u.com Product Overview The Intel® IXF18104 is a highly integrated solution for 10GbE Local Area Network (LAN) port applications compliant as per IEEE802.3ae specifications. The IXF18104 supports the 10GbE LAN mode of operation for transport of Ethernet frames in LAN (10.3125Gbps) applications. The 10 Gigabit MAC (per IEEE 802.3ae) handles frame encapsulation, verification, 10GbE flow control, and Remote Monitoring/ Simple Network Management Protocol (RMON/ SNMP) statistics management. The IXF18104 also handles the 802.3ae Physical Coding Sub-layer (PCS) functions of the 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard. The PCS hardware handles the 64B/66B encoding/decoding to provide the transition density and balance of the 10.3125Gbps stream. The system interface supports the industrystandard System Parallel Interface Level 4 (SPI-4) Phase 2. This interface is 16 bits wide with 622Mbps–800Mbps Double Data Rate (DDR) clocking. The SPI-4 Phase 2 interface is Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS), which provides the customer with less connection concerns than previous 64-bit High-Speed Transport Layer (HSTL) interfaces. On the line side, the IXF18104 supports the LAN version of the IEEE 802.3ae XSBI interface. The 16-bit LVDS interface operates at 644Mbps to support the 10GbE LAN rate of 10.3125Gbps. The IXF18104 also supports an integrated Pseudo Random Bit Sequence (PRBS) packet generator/analyzer for the PCS. Line remote, ...
