Broadcom 7-nm 100GbE PAM-4 PHY (4:1) or (2:1) - BCM87103A2KFFBG

Product Description

Broadcom 7-nm 100GbE PAM-4 PHY (4:1) or (2:1) - BCM87103A2KFFBG

The Broadcom BCM8710x series of devices are the industry’s first and highest performance and lowest power single-chip 100GbE PAM-4 PHY transceiver platform capable of driving 112-Gb/s PAM-4 at 56 Gbaud, while supporting DR/FR/LR optical links.  In 100GbE mode, the BCM87106 converts either four lanes of 25.7815 Gb/s NRZ or two lanes of 53.125 Gb/s (at 26.5625-Gbaud PAM-4) from the host side into one lane of 106.25 Gb/s (at 53.125-Gbaud PAM-4) on the media side.  Leveraging Broadcom's market-leading PAM-4 PHY technology platform, the BCM87103 represents the industry's first 100G PAM-4 PHY transceiver available in 7-nm CMOS and includes the required FEC generation and termination capability for DR4 to DR1 break-out mode and longer distance optical links. The BCM87103 enables driverless module designs for both EML optics and SiP optics.

The BCM87103 also enables re-use of BCM8740x series advanced API-based firmware for significant module development and deployment time improvements.
