Vitesse SFP Chipset Delivers 1, 2, and 4 Gbps Fibre Channel

Vitesse Semiconductor launched a new chipset specifically designed for next-generation, multirate Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet SFP modules. The SFP chipset is the fist to offer rate selection capabilities for 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, and 4 Gbps. Vitesse said its two-chip solution reduces module chip count when compared with current market solutions and provides enhanced SFP/SFF-8472 compliant digital diagnostic capabilities. The chipset includes a monolithic Laser Driver and Post Amplifier, and a bandwidth selectable Transimpedance Amplifier. http://www.vitesse.com
