General Description

Designed for high-performance, low-power, and low-cost Gigabit Ethernet, the VSC8601 and VSC8641 are the industry’s lowest-power and most highly integrated Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) PHYs. The VSC8601 is optimized for Gigabit LAN on Motherboard (GLOM) and Gigabit Ethernet switch applications, while the VSC8641 is optimized for Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (GE-PON) applications.

Applications

• LAN-on-Motherboards, mobile PCs, and single-port RGMII applications

• Broadband CPE and wireless routers

• Gigabit Ethernet SAN, NAS, and MAN systems

• iSCSI and TOE applications

• Network-enabled devices such as printers, IP phones, and gaming appliances

• ATCA™ 3.0 and PICMG™ 2.16 Ethernet backplane applications

• GE-PON physical media dependent device (VSC8641)
