VITESSE VSC7105/7106 Data Sheet 1.0625 Gbit/sec Transmitter/Receiver Chipset for Fibre Channel or Proprietary Serial Links Features ANSI X3T11 Fibre Channel Compatible at 1.0625 Gbit/s On-chip Fully Monolithic Clock Recovery and Clock Multiplication Circuits Require No External Components On Chip Clock Multiplication Relieves System of High Speed Clock Generation Single +3.3V Supply Operation Dual Receiver Serial Inputs and Transmitter Outputs for Loopback and Multiple Link Applications Selectable 10 or 20 bit TTL Compatible Parallel Interface High Sensitivity Differential Receiver Suitable for both Coaxial and Optical Link Applications General Description The VSC7105/VSC7106 chipset is compatible with the ANSI X3T11 Fibre Channel Standard. Fibre Channel is a high speed communication channel standardized by ANSI for mapping upper layer protocols (ULP) such as SCSI, IP, and HIPPI. Fibre Channel can then provide a channel over which concurrent communication of all ULP’s may exist on a single interconnect between workstations, mainframes, and supercomputers, and for connection to mass storage devices and other peripherals. The Fibre Channel physical layer is also ideal for building cost effective, very high speed point-to-point communications links. This chipset implements the Fibre Channel electrical transceiver physical layer for 1.0625 Gb/s operation. At 1.0625 Gb/s, Fibre Channel delivers 100 MByte/s of data bandwidth over a single cable. This bandwidth e...
