NetLogic preps 100G Ethernet PHY chip
Everyone interested.
NetLogic Microsystems Inc. is angling to become the first company to sample a physical layer chip for the upcoming 40/100 Gbit Ethernet standard.
The company plans to see first silicon in December for an all CMOS device that consumes about 500 milliwatts per channel.The NetLogic PHY will fit in a 19x19mm package. It supports several configurations ranging from ten channels of 10 Gbit/s data to 25 channels of 4 Gbit/s traffic.
