Overview
The IP is a 10 Gb/s XAUI compliant interface with four independent channels supporting up to 3.125 Gb/s each. The XAUI interface, defined at 3.125 Gbps for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 3.1875 Gbps for 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel, provides a 4-wide, 8b/10b-based intermediate speed channel extender interface for the transmission of 10 Gbps signals and is optimized for backplane applications.
These Phy IPs are based on an advanced analog architecture designed to scale to the next generation of data rates. The new high-speed SERDES XAUI is the de-facto standard for 3.125 Gbps backplanes, common implementation in chip-to-chip applications, and widespread adoption in the communications market.
