Puma AEL1002
10GbE/10GFC LAN PHY/SerDes

NetLogic Microsystems' Puma AEL1002 device is a single channel CMOS physical layer (PHY) transceiver optimized for use in XFP-based 10Gbps line-card applications. Its XFI- compliant serial interface supports interfacing with XFP modules at 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel data rates and its flexible system side interconnect supports interfacing with MACs and ASICs using a XAUI interface.

The AEL1002 device uses NetLogic Microsystems' high-density PHY technology to offer an attractive combination of high performance (10 Gbps) and low power consumption (800 mW). Full PCS, PMA, and XGXS sub-layer functionality is provided through the consolidation of the receiver and transmitter PHY functions on a single chip along with the integration of encode/decode/alignment logic, FIFOs, on-chip clock drivers, multiple loop-back features and PRBS generation & verification for both the line side and the system side.

This combination of low power and attractive features enables flexible board design and accelerates the deployment of dense 10G line cards for both 10 Gbps Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications.
