PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Marvell¨ Alaska¨ family of Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) over copper transceivers are the industryÕs lowest power, smallest form factor, highest performance, and highest port density solutions in volume production. The Alaska Ultra single-channel GbE transceivers, consisting of the 88E1011 and 88E1011S devices, are the industryÕs first GbE PHYs optimized for the mobile computing market. These devices perform all of the physical layer functions for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T full or half duplex Ethernet on category 5 (CAT 5) twisted pair cable, and 10BASE-T full or half duplex Ethernet on CAT 3, 4 and 5 cable. The Alaska Ultra+ device (88E1011S) offers additional support of 1000BASE-X through an integrated 1.25 GHz Serializer/Deserializer (SERDES).

APPLICATIONS

The Marvell Alaska Ultra GbE transceiver supports advanced power management modes, including Wake-on-LAN, which are critical to client applications such as Gigabit-connected laptop computers. The device also provides complete flexibility in media selection Ñ either copper or fiber media. The Alaska Ultra PHYÕs Media Detect feature automatically senses whether the end-user has inserted a CAT 5 copper or fiber-optic cable, performs Auto-Negotiation and provides seamless plug-and-play configuration.
