The US-based system-on-a-chip developer National Semiconductor Corp has launched a dual-port 10/100/1000 physical layer transceiver called the DP83862 Dual Gig PHYTER.

The new product, which is manufactured on National Semiconductor's 0.18-micron CMOS technology, provides, according to the company, the lowest cost per port, Gigabit over copper physical layer system, suitable for use in such applications as high-density Gb switches, dual port Gb node cards and high-speed uplinks.

Other features include integration with PMD sub layers to support 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T Ethernet protocols and a single Quad TX-Transformer interface for all speeds. The DP83862 is also said to be the industry's first to offer PHY level cyclical redundancy checking on received packets and PHY level CRC generation for test mode transmit packets.

Offered in 432-pin EBGA package, the DP83862 Dual Gig PHYTER is currently sampling to National Semiconductor's key customers. General availability and pricing were not revealed.
