Applied Micro Circuits ( News - Alert) Corp. (AMCC) has announced the release of an Industrial temperature 10GbE LAN/WAN PHY (Physical Layer) Device, the S19263, for Metro-Ethernet and carrier grade Ethernet applications.
The device is pin-to-pin compatible with AMCC’s PEMAQUID S19258 PHY and is a XAUI to XFI 10G LAN/WAN PHY industrial temperature device for 10GbE, 10G Fiber Channel, and WIS (OC-192/STM-64) network applications, where XAUI is Xilinx ( News - Alert) Attachment Unit Interface.
The S19263 is available in a 19x19 package, and consumes less than 2.5 watts in a typical LAN application.
The S19263 is AMCC's second device launched, in its MEtrON (Metro Ethernet Optical Networks) product family and has a highly integrated XAUI to XFI physical layer and integrated circuit for Ethernet and Fibre Channel LAN and WAN applications based on SFP+ or XFP optical modules.
"Unlike climate controlled locations such as customer premises and data centers, industrial-grade components designed for LAN and WAN applications must meet telco-grade standards in order to ensure high reliability in extreme temperature environments," said Michael Howard ( News - Alert), Principal Analyst and Co-Founder at Infonetics Research. "The AMCC design team ensured that the S19263 meets these industrial temperature requirements, while making the device pin-compatible with the recently announced PEMAQUID S19258 framer/mapper/PHY."
"As the convergence of Ethernet and SONET-based networks continue to accelerate, our customers have been requesting a 10GbE LAN/WAN PHY that can meet their need for a Metro-Ethernet and Carrier Grade Ethernet system and can function reliably in extreme temperature conditions," also said Neal Neslusan ( News - Alert), Director of Transport Marketing at AMCC. "The S19263 clearly meets this requirement and is the latest example of why AMCC is becoming the supplier of choice for the 10 Gigabit Ethernet transport market."
AMCC’s S19263 requires only one low cost external reference oscillator to support 10G line rates from 9.954Gbps up to 10.52Gbps, with an integrated FRACn synthesizer, to support 10G line rates from 9.954Gbps up to 10.52Gbps. It also meets the requirements of SONET/SDH jitter.
