10Gbit/s across high-speed cable interconnect and backplane solution
Tyco Electronics, USA, a business sector of Tyco International Ltd, and Lattice Semiconductor Corp., USA, have recently announced the demonstration and interoperability of Lattice’s XPIO™ 110GXS physical layer electronic transceiver with Tyco Electronics’ FR-4 backplane and high-speed long cables. The demonstration utilised Lattice’s XPIO 110GXS 16-bit, 9.953 to 10.709Gbit/s transceivers, and Tyco’s HM-Zd based QuadRoute™ backplane and ZFP-I/O high-speed cables in conjunction with passive equalizer and active equalizer device. The demonstration configuration was as follows: a 9.953Gbit/s serial NRZ-PRBS 211-1 bit stream was injected into Lattice XPIO SERDES using pulse pattern generator. The XPIO then hooked to one end of a 7 meters long “ZFP-I/O” cable assembly through interface boards. A second XPIO SERDES was hooked to the other end of the cable through combined passive and active equalization. The XPIO outputs were individually connected to the DSO and BERT as single ended signal. “In today’s competitive market, this cost effective and reliable solution is excellent example where customers can utilise flexible solution for system interconnect based on the combined solution”, commented Mr Minoru Okamoto, vice-president, communications & consumer electronics of Tyco Electronics.
“This demonstration is a key step in bringing cost effective10Gbit/s cable interconnect and electrical backplane solutions to market”, added Mr Stan Kopec, Vice President of Marketing for Lattice. Lattice Semiconductor has developed the industry's broadest and fastest programmable device family for high-speed serial backplane data transmission. The ORT82G5 integrates eight backplane transceiver channels, each operating over a range from 600Mbit/s to 3.7Gbit/s with a full duplex synchronous interface with built-in Clock and Data Recovery (CDR). The ORSO82G5 includes eight backplane transceiver channels, each operating at up to 2.7Gbit/s data rate, providing a full-duplex synchronous interface with built-in Clock/Data Recovery (CDR). It also contains an embedded core for SONET data scrambling and descrambling, streamlined SONET framing, transport overhead handling, cell insertion and extraction, idle cell insertion/deletion, plus the programmable logic to terminate the network into proprietary systems. All SONET functionality is hidden from the user and no prior networking knowledge is required.
