Fibre Channel
Transmitter and
Receiver
TriQuint’s Fibre Channel transmitter (TQ9501) and receiver (TQ9502) are
part of the FC531/FC1063 (Fibre Channel 531 and 1063 Megabaud) chip
set. In addition to the transmitter and receiver, TriQuint offers the ENcoder/
DECoder (TQ9303 ENDEC). The TQ9501, TQ9502, TQ9303 and a gigabit
fiber optic module set provide a complete solution for Fibre Channel's FC0
and FC1 layers as well as partial support for the FC2 layer.
The TQ9501 and TQ9502 are designed in TriQuint's proprietary 0.7-micron
GaAs process, enabling the transmitter and receiver to run at higher speeds
and lower power than with conventional processes. The transmitter and
receiver data interface has been selected to be 10 bits in order to conserve
input/output power and to reduce pin count and package size. The trans-
mitter performs the parallel-to-serial conversion and generates the internal
high-speed clock for the serial output. The receiver performs serial-to-
parallel conversion, recovers the clock and data from the serial input, and
detects the K28.5 character (Fibre Channel standard “SYNC” transmission
character).
The TQ9303 ENDEC implements 8b/10b encoding and decoding, ordered
set encoding and decoding, parity checking and generation, 32-bit CRC
checking and generation, and word synchronization as defined in the
Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling Interface Standard (FC-PH).
Fibre Channel provides a high-speed physical layer for Intelligent
Peripheral Interface (IPI) and Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
upper-layer command sets, High-Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI)
data link layer, and other user-defined command sets. Fibre Channel
replaces the SCSI, IPI and HIPPI physical interfaces with a higher-
speed interface capable of driving longer distances.
