Broadcom Corporation - BCM8703 - Serial 10-GbE/Fibre Channel Transceiver With XAUI™ InterfaceThe BCM8703 is the industry's first single-chip serial 10-Gigabit Ethernet Fibre Channel transceiver (transmitter/receiver) with integrated 10-Gigabit equalizer. This third-generation product reduces power consumption and footprint requirements by 50% of competing multi-chip and single-chip solutions making the BCM8703 suitable for use inside of modules or for placement directly onto system line cards in LAN (local area network) and SAN (storage area network) applications.
The BCM8703 features Broadcom's proprietary EyeOpener equalization technology designed to enable the use of existing Backplanes at 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) while improving system reliability and lowering cost. The EyeOpener technology removes inter-symbol interference (ISI) on the incoming data stream and enables the reliable transfer of serial 10-Gbps data over longer trace lengths and lower cost PCB (printed circuit board) material such as FR-4. The BCM8703 performs programmable equalization for up to 12 inches on a FR-4 trace which makes it ideal for XFP module-based LAN and SAN applications.
