BCM8022

Description

The BCM8022 device integrates four retimer channels leveraging Broadcom's high-performance mixed signal design experience along with advanced 0.13- CMOS process technology. Combine BCM8022 with a robust architecture offering the highest degree of flexibility and the result is a highly programmable, lowest power retimer solution for network linecard and backplane applications.

The BCM8022 was designed to support the new IEEE802.3ak (draft) standard developed for transmitting high-speed 10GbE data over relatively short distances of low-cost copper media; up to 15 meters of 4X Infiniband Cable. The BCM8022 can be leveraged inside copper based modules designed with easy plug-ability similar to XENPAK or XPAK/X2 type modules, or within discrete solutions directly on the linecard.
