Marvell Further Expands 10 Gigabit Ethernet Portfolio

Marvell expanded its portfolio of 10 Gigabit PHY offerings with the addition of two new devices for LAN and WAN applications. The Marvell Alaska X 88X2010 serial 10 GigE transceiver is a dedicated LAN PHY device designed to optimize next-generation Gigabit physical layer implementations. The device enables highly compact XAUI-based modules by integrating a limiting amplifier and the latest digital optical monitoring (DOM) functions as specified by XENPAK, XPAK and X2 multi-source agreements. The Marvell device also features advanced clocking modes for optimum XFP module-based implementations. The Marvell Alaska X 88X2011 device is the first serial 10 Gigabit transceiver to enable 10 Gigabit Ethernet over SONET networks, an important vehicle to transfer data across a WAN connection. Enhanced WAN PHY functionality is achieved with on-chip IEEE 802.3ae WAN Interface Sublayer (WIS) functionality.
