OVERVIEW
BCM8040 Block Diagram
The BCM8040 device integrates four independent XGXS (XGMII
eXtender sublayer) cores leveraging Broadcom’s high-performance
mixed-signal design experience along with advanced 0.13µ CMOS
process technology. This, combined this with a robust architecture
offering the highest degree of flexibility, results is a highly
programmable, lowest power retimer solution for network line card and
backplane applications.
An internal MUX connects each serial channel to enable fully redundant
operation. The MUX enables an active serial link to be switched to the
primary channel, while a protection serial link can be continuously
monitored to insure its condition. If the active link fails, the protection
link can be switched over through external control to ensure continued
system operation.
Each transmitter and receiver interface supports serial transmissions
rates ranging from 1 Gbps to 3.2 Gbps. An on-chip phase lock loop
(PLL) synthesizes the supplied reference clock to support the desired
transmit rate, while clock and data recovery (CDR) units recover the
receive rate clock for timing. The interface can support single-channel
(octal) or dual-channel quad (XAUI) differential CML I/O.
For high-speed serial copper connections, the device incorporates both
transmit pre-emphasis on the transmit channels and receive equalization
on the receive channels. Transmit pre-emphasis is programmable to
improve the overall cable reach and compensate for electrical
imperfections associated with traces and connectors. Receive
equalization provides optimal performance over a variety of receive
interfaces.
Highly programmable test capabilities within the device support
loopbacks using generators/checkers that provide PRBS 27 to 231
patterns along with IEEE802.3ae defined test patterns.
A complete evaluation kit, including an evaluation board, related
software, and documentation is available upon request.
