WAN/LAN/Backplane RXAUI/XAUI to SFP+/KR 10 GbE PHY with Intellisec™ and VeriTime™

Product Detail

Microsemi’s VSC8489, VSC8490, and VSC8491 family of single-port and dual-port 10G Ethernet transceivers provides a highly flexible solution ideal for electrical backplane and optical module host card applications. Designed to meet all SFP+ SR/LR/ER/ZR Fiber, EDC compensated MMF, and direct attached cable host requirements (in accordance with the SFF-8431 specifications), the devices compensate for optical impairments in SFP+ applications along with degradations of the PCB. The VSC8489/90/91 device family also provides full 10GBASE-KR support (including Clause 73 auto-negotiation and Clause 72 transmit training), as well as highly flexible clocking options for Ethernet LAN and WAN operations and Synchronous Ethernet (Sync-E).Leveraging Microsemi’s leadership in PLLs and software for 1588PTPv2 packet timing and Sync-E, and a rich portfolio of clock management ICs, the 8489/90/91 family enables highly-deterministic network timing, wide-area system synchronization, and end-to-end trusted security in next-generation Ethernet networks (including Wireless Cloud Radio Access, Carrier Ethernet NID, Ethernet-based Industrial Automation, Power Smart Grids, and Enterprise Audio Video Bridging).The devices integrate Microsemi’s highly innovative Intellisec™ and VeriTime™ technologies, providing IEEE 802.1AE MACsec-compliant 128/256 bit strong AES packet encryption and IEEE 1588PTPv2 single-digit nanosecond time stamping. A variety of on-chip instrumentation features (including a complete suite of BIST functionality, line and client side loopbacks, pattern generation and error detection) minimize product development time, and an integrated cross-point switch enables flexible on-chip lane ordering and failover switching for protection routing, guaranteeing flexible and uninterrupted field service provisioning.
