VSC7226UI-06

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The VSC7226UI-06 is a quad multi-gigabit backplane transceiver manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features four channels of Gigabit Ethernet-compliant transceivers per channel, supporting dual-speed XAUI links with data rates ranging from 0.95Gb/s to 1.26Gb/s or 1.9Gb/s to 2.52Gb/s. The device provides over 20Gb/s duplex raw data rate capability. It includes redundant PECL Tx outputs and Rx inputs with a reduced Tx output swing option, an 8B/10B encoder with bypassing on each channel, and ASIC-Friendly timing options for parallel input data buses up to 312.5Mb/s.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '06' against official Microchip documentation to confirm the supported data rate range (0.95Gb/s to 1.26Gb/s or 1.9Gb/s to 2.52Gb/s). Ensure compatibility with required PECL signaling levels and 8B/10B encoding requirements. Confirm package specifications match the TBGA-256 form factor. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring quad-channel Gigabit Ethernet compliance with dual-speed XAUI support. Consider the need for redundant PECL I/O paths and the benefit of on-chip fixed serial terminations. Evaluate the requirement for ASIC-friendly timing options and fast-locking elastic buffers for intra-chip alignment. Ensure the design supports the specified parallel bus speeds and data rate ranges.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

The VSC7226 series represents a family of quad multi-gigabit backplane transceivers. The VSC7226UI-06 variant specifically targets applications requiring data rates between 0.95Gb/s and 2.52Gb/s.
