VSC8247
Quad Port 8.5 Gbps to 11.3 Gbps CDR with EDC
Microsemi’s new high-performance clock and data recovery (CDR) IC
provides superior signal integrity, speed flexibility, programmable output,
and integrated diagnostics for optical applications.
The VSC8247 is a quad channel clock and data recovery (CDR) receiver
with on-chip adaptive electronic dispersion compensation (EDC),
programmable input equalization, and selectable pre-emphasis output.
Operating at 8.5 Gbps to 11.3 Gbps, the VSC8247 is a versatile CDR
and retimer for all 10G Ethernet and SONET applications. VSC8247
also supports 8G Fibre Channel and 10G QDR Infiniband protocols and
data rates, and all legacy rates. The VSC8247’s flexibility makes it an
excellent candidate for upcoming 4×10G and 10×10G CFP modules
and high-density photonic integrated circuit (PIC) designs.
Highlights
• Broad application support
• High-performance analog EDC
• High-density receiver
Applications
• Long-haul SMF platforms
• FEC-enabled systems
• 40G/100G CFP module designs: 4×10G,
10×10G, and 10×12G
Integrated EDC compensates for signal degradations in both the
optical and electrical domains. For optical systems, this includes
chromatic dispersion in long-haul single mode fiber systems, and modal
dispersion in multimode fiber systems. High-performance FFE-DFE EDC
technology compensates for fiber signal impairment and PCB-related
signal degradation. Feedback from an FEC device can be used for
further optimization and enhanced performance.
Each channel includes an independent VScope™ input signal
monitoring integrated circuit and built-in error detector to facilitate
product design, production, and deployment.
