SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
•
Enables data transfer rate of 10 Gbps over metropolitan
•
•
•
•
network when used with wavelength division multiplexing
(WDM) or XAUI interface to a serial 10-Gbps laser module.
Ultra-low transmitter jitter on each channel results in a longer
cable reach (in excess of 40 km).
EyeOpener
TM
adaptive equalizer extends the speed and reach
of copper traces over FR4 backplane.
Adaptive equalization and ultra-low receiver jitter enhance
the receive eye pattern, which results in a superb bit-error rate
(BER).
Easy-to-use programming of the global configuration registers
facilitates the design of the system. It provides enable/disable
functions such as PLL lock, channel synchronization, VCO
bypass, serial and loopback modes for self-diagnosis, and
selecting source-centered and source-synchronous clocking.
In-system at-speed link and on-board Built-In-Self-Test
(BIST) is available using programmable pseudo-random bit
sequence (PRBS) and programmable pattern comparators.

The BCM8011 chip provides an aggregate bandwidth of 10-Gbps full-
duplex, extending Ethernet capabilities into the Wide Area Network
(WAN). The BCM8011 integrates four channels of the Broadcom
FusionCore
TM
- a high-performance mixed-signal transceiver core,
capable of transmitting and receiving data at 3.125 Gigabits per second
(Gbps).
The chip also supports Broadcom’s EyeOpener
TM
adaptive equalizer,
which improves overall cable reach and compensates for the electrical
imperfections associated with the copper traces and connectors.
Fully integrated PLL and Clock and Data Recovery enable individual
channels to lock to the incoming data. The unique design of the LC-VCO
and CDR blocks have resulted in a less than 3 ps Root Mean Square
(RMS) transmit jitter implemented in CMOS.
The transmitter section accepts 32-bit-wide (XGMII) parallel SSTL_2/
HSTL-compatible data, clock and control signals and serializes the 32-
bit data into a 4-differential pair of CML high-speed data (XAUI).
The receiver section enables individual channels to lock to the incoming
data. The recovered data is presented at the SSTL_2/HSTL-compatible
parallel outputs.
The optional 8B/10B encoding and 10B/8B decoding of the PCS layer
are integrated in the transceiver. Channel alignment and synchronization
capabilities are addressed through configuration registers.
Broadcom also offers a complete evaluation kit, including board and
related software running on the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
98 or Windows
®
NT 4.0.
Applications:
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN, MAN, WAN switches and routers
• Next-generation network interface cards
• Fiber headends
• Advanced Test Equipment (ATE)
• High-speed serial copper connections
