Serdes cores handle
high-speed serial interfaces
LSI Logic has developed two low-power GigaBlaze transceiver cores using its Gflx 0.11-micron technology
Offered as x1 and x4 hard macros, both cores are designed for high-speed interconnect applications in the storage and computing markets and address the rising demand for reliable, standards-compliant, high-bandwidth connections. These cell-based CMOS cores can be fully integrated and support a wide variety of applications, such as Serial ATA, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), Fibre Channel, PCI Express, 10Gbit Ethernet (XAUI), InfiniBand and proprietary backplane interconnects.

Move is expected to achieve greater cost efficiencies through the adoption of a variable cost structure and to provide for scalable capacity without additional capital investment
The LSI Logic GigaBlaze cores provide full-duplex, point-to-point communication channels with serial data rates of up to 4.25Gbit/s and contain both serialiser and deserialiser circuitry.
The GigaBlaze x4 core (four serdes in a single hard macro) is ideally suited for applications that require a large number of serdes on a single chip, such as SAN switches.
The GigaBlaze x4 core, multilane ports, used in PCI Express and 10Gbit Fibre Channel, are easily integrated onto a single chip.
The GigaBlaze x1 core (one serdes in a single hard macro) is optimised for applications that require only one or two serdes, such as Fibre Channel disk drives or host bus adapters.
