VSC3316EV

VSC3316 11.5 Gbps 16 × 16 Crosspoint Switch Microsemi’s multichannel 11.5 Gbps crosspoint switch provides a costeffective solution for high-speed copper interconnects. Highlights The VSC3316 is an advanced signal conditioning crosspoint switch solution uniquely capable of addressing a wide array of asynchronous, physical layer switching, and routing applications across storage, server, video, communications, and other industries. Featuring a 16 × 16 nonblocking, multicasting switch core with ports running at any rate up to 11.5 Gbps, the VSC3316 architecture provides protocol-transparent operation, allowing each channel to run independently. VSC3316 supports virtually all standard and proprietary data protocols up to the maximum data rate. • 16 × 16 fully non-blocking switch capability The device incorporates Microsemi’s fourth-generation input equalization and pre-emphasis I/O capability engineered to overcome channel impairments experienced in today’s high-density systems at multigigabit data rates. It can perform signal fanout, loopback, and protection switching. It can also regenerate signals compromised by losses in the transmission medium. Microsemi’s equalization works independently of the data rate, providing highly effective compensation for deterministic jitter across a wide range of high-speed interconnect applications. • Storage • DC to 11.5 Gbps operation • Protocol-transparent operation • Advanced input equalization and output preemphasis Applications • Servers • Telecom • Broadcast video switching/routing • HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort switching/routing • Test and measurement VSC3316 Line Card Application Serial DC to 11.5 Gbps Module PHY ASIC or FPGA Line Card 16 Serial DC to 11.5 Gbps VSC3316 16 Crosspoint Backplane Switch Card Microsemi makes no warranty, representation, or guarantee regarding the information contained herein or the suitability of its products and services for any particular purpose, nor does Microsemi assume any liability whatsoever arising out of the application or use of any product or circuit.
