Broadcom Announces 10-GigE/FC Serial Transceiver with Integrated Equalizer

Broadcom introduced a single-chip serial 10-Gigabit Ethernet/Fiber Channel transceiver (transmitter/receiver) with integrated 10-Gigabit equalizer. The device features Broadcom’s proprietary EyeOpener equalization technology designed to enable the use of existing backplanes at 10 Gbps. The transceiver could be used for XFP module-based LAN and SAN applications. Broadcom expects the deployment of XFP solutions to decrease the cost of 10 Gbps interfaces by 50% or more.
