XPIO110GXS

The XPIO™ 110GXS is a fully integrated 10 Gbps serializer/ deserializer device designed for high-speed switches and routers that require very low power budget and a small footprint as well. Centering on 10 Gbps speed, the XPIO 110GXS is a versatile chip that is capable of handling applications in various standards, such as OC-192 (9.95 Gbps) and 10GE (10.31 Gbps).

An on-chip low jitter PLL generates all required clocks based on an external reference clock at 1/16 or 1/64 frequency of the serial data rate, which is 622.08 MHz or 155.52 MHz, respectively, for OC-192 applications. An Integrated Limiting Amplifier OC-192 allows flexibility in placement and reduced bit-error rates (BER).

Fabricated with state-of-the-art CMOS technology, the XPIO 110GXS performs all necessary functions for serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial conversions, and consumes less than one third of the power consumed by the more conventional SiGe Bi-CMOS designs.
