Ethernet switch enables single-chip nanosecond accurate 1588 solution
This unique device family, which includes Serval-T (VSC7415), Serval-TE (VSC7435) and Serval-TE10 (VSC7437), integrates Microsemi’s Carrier Ethernet Switch capabilities with an on-chip phase-locked loop (PLL), expanding the company’s portfolio of access networking and timing solutions.
The devices deliver a flexible combination of 1GE, 2.5GE and 10GE, making them attractive for access communication equipment such as mobile backhaul, small cell and Ethernet access device (EAD)/network interface device (NID). The products leverage a virtualized service aware architecture (ViSAA)—a silicon implementation that is differentiated by hardware-based Ethernet service—and also provide operation, administration and maintenance (OAM), service activation testing (SAT) and protection switching capabilities. The new Serval-T Ethernet switch product family has been significantly enhanced from the previous generation of devices, with two additional ports of integrated copper PHY, 10G Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes), an IEEE 1588/Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) digital phase locked loop (DPLL), as well as a lower chip count from three to one, lowering bill of materials costs and enabling smaller form factor designs and lower power solutions.
