Vitesse Introduces Multi-Protocol Chipset for 10Gbps MSA Modules

Vitesse Semiconductor introduced a multi-rate, multi-protocol Transceiver, Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) and EAM Driver chipset for 10 Gbps MSA modules. Vitesse said its new chipset delivers up to 11.3 Gbps performance and supports all 10 Gbps standard and forward error correction rates. It also reduces the number of external components required to implement MSA-compliant modules. Applications include 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), modules, and line cards for OC-192/STM-64 and 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel systems. It is also designed to support the industry's transition to low cost XFP modules interfacing with host SERDES for 10GbE, Fibre Channel, and SONET/SDH markets.
