5GBASE-T/2.5GBASE-T/1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-Te Ethernet PHYs
The Marvell® Alaska® M 88E2180 is the world’s first octal
Multi-Gigabit Ethernet transceiver that is compatible with both
IEEE 802.3bz standard and NBASE-T Alliance specification for
2.5 and 5 Gbps operation over CAT5e cables. The 88E2180
device supports multiple network ports over a single SERDES
for Multi-Gigabit technology at 5G/2.5G/1G/100M/10M data
rate through USXGMII-M interface.
Part of the 88E21xx device family, this transceiver enables a
lower cost, low-power dissipation 5GBASE-T / 2.5GBASE-T /
1000BASE-T / 100BASE-TX / 10BASE-Te Ethernet designs.
Using Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology to enable the
repurposing of low-cost Ethernet CAT5e cables for data rates as
high as 5Gbp/s, the 88E21xx device family supports higher
speed connectivity for applications such as workstations,
high-end PCs, NICs, as well as the high-bandwidth 802.11ax and
802.11ac Wave 2 Access Point backhaul which exceeds the
speed capabilities of existing 1GbE connections. The 8-port88E2180 device enables high-density enterprise switch
applications.
The Marvell Alaska M 88E21xx family supports IEEE 802.3az
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). It also incorporates the Marvell
advanced Virtual Cable Tester (VCT) technology for cable fault
detection and proactive cable performance monitoring. With
advanced digital signal processing (DSP) the transceiver can
proactively monitor the performance of a cable and determine
cable length and type. It also detects opens and shorts and can
report the location of a fault.
The device family supports a wide variety of host-side
interfaces including USXGMII, XFI with Rate Matching,
5000BASE-R, 2500BASE-X, and SGMII to support full backward
compatibility with lower speed legacy Ethernet rates. The octal
E2180 also supports USXGMII-M interface.
