PHY 1-CH 256-Pin BGA

The quad port VSC8 GbE PHY with VeriTime is ideal for securing cloud network applications including e-commerce, databases, collaboration, smart grid, video, and enterprise or government communications. VeriTime is Microsemi’s patent-pending timing technology that delivers the industry"s most accurate IEEE 1588v2 timing implementation available on the market today (±4 ns accuracy, 1 ns precision, 1000BASE-T). VSC85 supports Y.1731 OAM and MPLS-TP OAM for accurate delay measurement and performance monitoring. In addition, it includes dual recovered clock outputs for timing references in Synchronous Ethernet solutions. Using Microsemi"s Ring Resiliency technology, the PHY switches between master and slave timing without interrupting the 1000BASE-T link. The device includes a simplified hardware and software migration path for designs already using VSC8574, VSC8572, VSC8504, or VSC8552 devices. It serves as the perfect alternative to the VSC8584 or VSC8582 devices for designs that need the highest 1588v2 PTP accuracy, but may not need MACsec 256-bit/128-bit encryption.
