The company said the VSC3316 is ideal for transmitting multi-gigabit data signals over printed circuit boards, backplane connectors, and copper cabling used across a range of communications equipment including Core and Metro routers, blade servers, network storage equipment, broadcast video routers, and physical layer switches.
"Telecom, datacomm, networking, and Ethernet protocols are all converging at the 10 Gbps node, requiring signal integrity products to route, switch and clean up these signals at rates up to 11.5 Gbps," said Juan Garza, product marketing manager for Vitesse. "With a long-standing history of delivering products with capabilities such as the VSC3316, Vitesse clearly understands this migration and is positioned to enable customers to create devices that the marketplace demands."
Capable of 11.5 Gbps per lane bandwidth, the VSC3316 includes detection/transmission of signal (LOS) providing native Out-of-Band (OOB) support of SAS/SATA storage protocols. This architecture also provides protocol transparent operation, thereby allowing each channel to run independently. Supporting the latest high-speed protocols, Vitesse's VSC3316 supports a frequency range encompassing virtually all data protocols including Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), XAUI, Reduced XAUI (RXAUI), 10GBASE-KR, SAS, SATA, 1G/2G/4G/8G/10G Fibre Channel, PCIe Gen 1/2/3 and InfiniBand.
The VSC3316 operates on a single 2.5V supply with a typical per-channel power dissipation of 200mW and is available in a high-density 15mm x 15mm, 196-pin PBGA package. General samples are available now, with volume pricing available upon request.
