VSC7111

11.5 Gbps Quad Signal Conditioner Mux/Demux

VSC7111 is a high-performance, quad-channel asynchronous buffer that simplifies high-speed signal path designs (up to 11.5G) by providing Microsemi’s industry-proven signal equalization at both the inputs and outputs. The device optimizes energy efficiency with innovative Green modes that lower power consumption at lower data rates. Additional power savings can be achieved by deactivating unused channels and configuring the best output level settings for an application.

The VSC7111 device offers programmable, static, and adaptive equalization settings to provide a comprehensive solution for countering signal degradation over a wide variety of transmission cabling and interconnect transmission paths in broadcast video, telecommunications, storage, and server applications.

VSC7111 is fully compatible with the latest server, interconnect, and storage protocols including PCIe Gen 1/2/3, 10GBASE-KR, and SAS/SATA.

Loss of signal (LOS) detectors with programmable thresholds are included on every input port. Each channel includes PCIe Gen 1/2/3 receive detection and state machines. The VSC7111 can be configured for pass-through 4-channel buffer, dual 2 × 2 matrix, dual 1:2 duocast, or dual 2:1 selector configurations.
