Shared Functions
BCM84823 Block Diagram for Each Port
The BCM84823 is a complete two-port 10/100/1000/10GBASE-T
solution operating at 100m over CAT6a or CAT7 unshielded twisted pair
(UTP) cable. It is based on highly advanced digital signal processor-
based architecture to allow robust operation over UTP wiring. It is a
highly integrated solution combining enhanced analog front ends with
digital adaptive equalizers, ADCs, phase-locked loops, line drivers,
LDPC encoders and decoders, echo cancellers, crosstalk cancellers, and
all required support circuitry.
The BCM84823 is optimized to enable switch, controller, and other
general 10-Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity applications. Each port
in the BCM84823 contains one XFI interface and two XAUI interfaces.
Any one of these interfaces can be connected on the MAC side or line
side. One of the four lanes on each XAUI interface is reserved to support
the SGMII interface, which offers lower speed 10/100/1000BASE-T
operation. This dual port enables customers to design high-density Top
of the Rack (ToR) switches and server NIC controllers for data center
applications.
The BCM84823 is another member of the Broadcom
®
65 nm
10GBASE-T PHY family, joining the BCM84821 to offer a single-port
or two-port option for various applications. The 65 nm process offers the
best performance, lowest cost, and lowest power for 10-Gigabit copper
solutions. Additionally, devices based on the 65 nm process offer an
excellent long-term cost curve, enabling better cost reduction over time
compared to older technologies, without having to redesign or requalify
a new part. AutogrEEEn support will reduce power significantly during
idle operation.
The BCM84823 incorporates various advanced features. A link quality
indicator LED provides instant notification of any problems with the
wiring plant operating at the desired speed. These problems include
physical wiring defects that the BCM84823 cannot automatically correct
and channel conditions such as excessive cable length and return loss,
crosstalk, echo, and noise. Broadcom cable analyzer software can be
used with the device to provide remote management of the cable and a
first level of diagnostics and fault isolation.
