The BCM8703 Ethernet/Fibre Channel PHY is a fully integrated
serialization/deserialization (10.3125/10.5188-Gbps) interface
device performing the extension functions for a 10 Gigabit Serial
Ethernet Reconciliation Sublayer (RS) interface. The XGMII
Extender Sublayer (XGXS), Physical Codings Sublayer (PCS),
and Physical Medium Attachment (PMA) functions include
8B/10B coding, 64B/66B coding, SerDes, Clock Multiplication
Unit (CMU), and Clock and Data Recovery (CDR).
On-chip clock synthesis is performed by the high-frequency,
low-jitter, phase-locked loops for the PMD and XAUI output
retimers. Individual PMD and XAUI clock recovery is
performed on the device by synchronizing the on-chip VCOs
directly to their respective incoming data streams. Elastic buffers
allow the XAUI and PMD interfaces to operate in either a
synchronous or asynchronous configuration. An external
156.25-MHz VCXO is required for synchronous mode operation
or for asynchronous mode with clock cleanup.
The BCM8703 is packaged in a 13 x 13 mm BGA package with
a 0.8-mm ball pitch.
