AQUILA High Performance XAUI to XAUI Transceiver Applications l XENPAK Modules l High speed serial back-plane l Intra system interconnect Overview The MS2430 is the industry's first highly integrated XAUI to XAUI transceiver which provides interconnection extensions, therefore eliminating the need for two XGXS blocks used in XENPAK modules and backplanes. MathStar's first transceiver of the Aquila Family of SerDes Products, the MS2430, is a physical layer device that implements the PCS and PMA functions of an IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gbps application and includes several features optimized for XENPAK optical modules. The greatest challenge module manufacturers face today is designing low power modules at competitive costs. MathStar provides significant cost, power and design advantages to optical module manufacturers by delivering a 50% power advantage while reducing board space by 45% in comparison to the industry's current solutions. MathStar's MS2430, housed in a 147 pin BGA (12mm x 12mm) package, is designed using low power CMOS technology and operates from 3.3V and 1.8V power supplies. Figure 1.
