Multi-Standard SerDes PHY IP
OverviewFeaturesRequest Datasheet
This SerDes PHY IP meets the requirement of broad range of market segments for machine-to-machine communication with lane configurable, high-speed operation and less Jitter on its output data. The PHY has two layers, logical and electrical. The electrical layer (PMA) handles the high-speed serial packet exchange and power management. The logical layer (PCS) handles reset, initialization, encoding & decoding and loop back testing.
