LSI Logic Integrates Dual XFI SerDes Into 10G Ethernet SoC

LSI Logic introduced its XFI SerDes core for enabling an SoC device to drive an XFP optical module, resulting in compact, cost-effective designs for 10 Gbps packet processing. The XFI SerDes core offers single-lane operation up to 11.1 Gbps to allow for forward error correction.



For the first use of XFI SerDes technology, LSI partnered with Ample Communications to develop the Redhawk 2-port 10GE MAC. http://www.lsi.com
