Marvell Semiconductor Alaska M Multi-Gigabit Ethernet PHYs
Marvell Semiconductor Alaska M Multi-Gigabit Ethernet PHYs are compatible with the NBASE-T Alliance specifications for 2.5G and 5G data rates over Cat5e cables. The Alaska M is manufactured using the 28nm process. The devices allow for lower-cost designs with extremely low power dissipation. The devices use Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for repurposing low-cost CAT5e Ethernet cables for data rates as high as 5Gbps. The Marvell Semiconductor Alaska M devices supplant optical technology for applications like 802.11ac Access Point backhaul, switches, servers, and more.
The devices support CAT 6, CAT6a, and Category 5e type cables for distances up to 100m. The devices support a variety of host interfaces (2500BASE-X, 5000BASE-R, SGMII) and 10G host interfaces like a USXGMII interface and XFI/RXAUI with rate-matching. The transceiver family also features full-back-ward compatibility with lower-speed legacy Ethernet (1000/100/10Mbps) on the line side.
