Description
As Ethernet technology becomes more prevalent in everyday mainstream applications such as IP phones, gaming consoles, PDAs, printers, and traditional home or corporate network connections, the demand for energy efficiency and advanced process technologies increases. The efficient design of the Marvell Alaska Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) PHY transceivers enables increased density, reduced power, and smaller package size. The Alaska Gigabit PHYs build on the Marvell legacy of providing unique, best-in-class features that enable customers to expand their Ethernet applications.
With the Alaska family, Marvell delivers a new class of Gigabit PHYs designed to meet the demands of next-generation green networks.
Additional features of the Alaska GbE PHYs include a high-level of integration in thermally-efficient packages that optimize PCB real estate and enable fan-less heat-sink-less designs. In addition, Alaska GbE PHYs feature Marvell Virtual Cable Tester (VCT) fault detection technology that is continuously extended, and which now enables “proactive” cable performance monitoring.
The Alaska GbE PHYs transceivers address a full range of demands:
Security: IEEE 802.1ae MACsec (information available on request)
Synchronous Ethernet
IEEE 1588v2
Lower power dissipation, enabling smaller and more mobile applications
Reduced PCB real estate, allowing either more compact platform design or additional physical space for increased application support
Simplified layout overcoming technical routing and thermal limitations
Higher performance, pushing the envelope on technical performance
Cable performance monitoring, allowing qualitative cable diagnostics
Marvell PHYs products can also be combined with Marvell’s switching products for a complete networking solution. With design and support centers located across the globe, Marvell provides comprehensive global engineering and technical support.
