VSC8489, VSC8490, and VSC8491 family of single-port and dual-port 10G Ethernet transceivers provides a highly flexible solution ideal for electrical backplane and optical module host card applications. Designed to meet all SFP+ SR/LR/ER/ZR Fiber, EDC compensated MMF, and direct attached cable host requirements (in accordance with the SFF-8431 specifications), the devices compensate for optical impairments in SFP+ applications along with degradations of the PCB. The VSC8489/90/91 device family also provides full 10GBASE-KR support (including Clause 73 auto-negotiation and Clause 72 transmit training), as well as highly flexible clocking options for Ethernet LAN and WAN operations and Synchronous Ethernet (Sync-E).
