Broadcom BCM8727CIFBG

Overview

Dual-channel 10-GbE SFI-to-XAUI™ transceiver that incorporates an Electronic Dispersion Compensation (EDC) equalizer supporting SFP+ line-card applications.The BCM8727CIFBG is a multirate PHY targeted for SMF, MMF or copper twin-ax applications interfacing to both limiting-based and linear-based SFP+ and SFP modules. The BCM8727CIFBG is fully compliant to the 10-GbE IEEE 802.3aq standard and also supports 1000BASE-X for 1-GbE operation. The BCM8727CIFBG is developed using an all-DSP high-speed front-end providing the highest performance and most flexibility for line-card designers. An on-chip microcontroller implements the control algorithm for the DSP core.
