VSC8244 Data Sheet
Quad 10/100/1000BASE-T PHY with RGMII and RTBI MAC Interfaces
1 General Description
Ideally suited for high port density Gigabit Ethernet switches and routers, or multi-port Network Interface Cards (NICs), Vitesse's VSC8244 integrates four low-power, triple speed (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T) Ethernet transceivers in thermally-enhanced, 260-pin plastic Ball Grid Array (BGA).
The VSC8244 physical layer "PHY" IC leverages Vitesse’s proprietary 4th generation DSP Technology. Vitesse's highly optimized DSP architecture yields industry leading performance at less than 640mW per port, supporting 1000BASE-T with respect to all worst case impairments (NEXT, FEXT, Echo, and system noise sources).
