National puts more bandwidth on the backplane
National Semiconductor has unveiled a range of new high-speed low-voltage differential signalling (LVDS) data transmission products.
Based on a field proven architecture, the DP83862 Gig PHYTER is manufactured on the company's state-of-the-art 0.18-micron CMOS technology, providing the highest level of integration at very low power consumption.
This also provides National's customers with an ease of mind regarding availability and meeting their expected cycle time requirements including the unexpected upsides.
"With the introduction of the DP83862 Dual Gig PHYTER, National now becomes the only vendor who is able to provide an end-to-end network solution with the optimal combination of price, performance and power consumption", said Rick Walker, European Marketing Manager of the Network Products Group at National Semiconductor.
"With a roadmap that continually offers improvements on all of the network applications our customers care about, it is clear that National is committed to driving Gigabit to the desktop".
The DP83862 Gig PHYTER is the industry's first to provide PHY level cyclical redundancy checking (CRC), on received packets and PHY level CRC generation for test mode transmit packets.
It supports JPAG, and Auto media dependent interface crossover (Auto-X) that automatically detects and corrects wiring mishandling such as swapped wires in addition it also provides for and automatically corrects reversed polarity.
The DP83862 is designed for easy implementation of 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN Switches.
Each of the two ports interfaces directly to Twisted Pair media via an external transformer.
This device interfaces directly to the media access controller (MAC) layer through the IEEE 802.3u Standard Media Independent Interface (MII) of the IEEE 802.3u Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII).
It also supports the reduced pin count serial GMII (SGMII) interface with eight pins per port.
Major features of the DP83862 Dual Gig PHYTER includes: single Quad TX-Transformer interface for all speeds; adaptive equalisation and Baseline Wander compensation; IEEE 802.3u Auto-Negotiation and parallel detection; 3.3 v/1.8 v MAC interfaces; LED support; management register set; acceptance of 125 or 25MHz clock input, among others.
Offered in 432-pin EBGA package, National Semiconductor's DP83862 Dual Gig PHYTER is now sampling to key customers.
