The TQ9303 ENDEC (ENcoder/DECoder) implements 8b/10b encoding and decoding, ordered set encoding and decoding, and parity checking and generation as defined in the Fibre Channel Physical Signaling Interface Standard (FC-PH). The ENDEC fully implements the FC-1 layer of the Fibre Channel Standard. Implemented in a 0.8-micron CMOS process, the ENDEC also performs 32-bit CRC checking and generation as defined in the FC-2 layer of the Fibre Channel specification. The TQ9303 ENDEC interfaces directly to TriQuint's FC-0 layer Fibre Channel Transmitter (Tx) and Receiver (Rx) chipsets at the speeds shown below: FC Rate
