VSC7132-01: Link Replicator for Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet and HDTV
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The VSC7132-01 is a high performance serial Link Replicator
for applications in Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, and HDTV.
A serializer/deserializer (SerDes), such as the VSC7145, would
normally be connected to the IN/OUT ports in order to provide
duplicate links on the IN/OUT ports of the VSC7132-01. A popular application is for
Line Cards using serial links from a SerDes or Serial Backplane IC (VSC7226)
where the VSC7132-01 provides redundant, hot-swappable links to redundant
Switch Fabric Cards. Another common application is in a Host Adapter Board that
may require an internal and an external connector where the VSC7132-01 steers
serial data between the SerDes and the two connectors.
