VSC3308
11.5 Gbps 8 × 8 Crosspoint Switch
Microsemi’s multichannel 11.5 Gbps crosspoint switch provides a cost-
effective solution for high-speed copper interconnects.
The VSC3308 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 an 8 × 8 non-
blocking, multicasting switch core with ports running at any rate up to 11.5
Gbps, the VSC3308 architecture provides protocol-transparent operation,
allowing each channel to run independently.
The device supports virtually all standard and proprietary data protocols
up to the maximum data rate. VSC3308 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 multi-gigabit data rates. The device 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.
