Digital Crosspoint Single 8x8 11.5Gbps 69-Pin FCBGA

The VSC3308 is the industry’s highest performance signal integrity cross point solution. The VSC3308 is uniquely capable of addressing a wide array of routing, switching, and signal integrity issues across storage, blade server, video distribution, telecommunications, and Ethernet applications. Featuring an 8 × 8 non-blocking, multicasting switch core with ports running at any rate up to 11.5 Gbps, the VSC3308 architecture provides protocol-transparent operation, allowing each channel to run independently. The VSC3308 supports a wide frequency range and virtually all data protocols. The VSC3308 incorporates Vitesse’s fourth-generation input equalization and pre-emphasis I/O capability for the industry’s highest speed and protocol requirements. The device can perform signal fan out, loopback, and protection switching. It can also regenerate signals severely compromised by transmission losses. Vitesse’s equalization works independently of the data rate, providing highly effective compensation for deterministic jitter across a wide range of high-speed interconnect applications.
