LSI Logic introduced its XFI SerDes core for enabling an SoC device to drive an XFP optical module, resulting in compact, cost-effective designs for 10 Gbps packet processing. The XFI SerDes core offers single-lane operation up to 11.1 Gbps to allow for forward error correction.
For the first use of XFI SerDes technology, LSI partnered with Ample Communications to develop the Redhawk 2-port 10GE MAC. http://www.lsi.com
