GPON SoC cuts optical network termination costs

Chip yields 8.5-Gbit/s peak throughput

Targeting data and video applications, the MSC7104 Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) SoC for broadband passive optical network termination applications features lower system cost and high-performance 8.5-Gbit/s peak throughput. The device mates a GPON TC/MAC, Gigabit Ethernet TC/MACs, and a clock-and-data-recovery unit to a 32-bit Power Architecture CPU.

The chip has proven interoperability with many of the world’s top carriers, supports the G.984-GPON Encapsulation Mode protocol, and is compliant with ITU-T standards. The IC’s OMI/CDR supports 2.4-Gbit/s downstream and 1.2-Gbit/s upstream GPON rates. Dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet MACs support GMII, URGING, and MII modes and IEEE802.1p QoS. The PBGA456-packaged device has dynamic power management and a 280-MHz/32-bit DDR2 memory controller. ($12 ea/10,000 — samples available 3rd qtr.)
