DP83865: Ethernet solutions with Forward Error Correction

Guru 10920 points
Part Number: DP83865

Tool/software:

Hello,

Are there any TI Ethernet solutions(Phy IC, Retimer/Redriver, etc) that have built-in Forward Error Correction (FEC)?

Thanks,

JH

  • Hi,

    The DP83865 has an FEC decoder, however this part is in the process of being discontinued:

    Our other PHYs do not support Forward error correction.

    For our retimer/drivers:
    1. If you want to redrive/retime a signal that already has FEC data, that is no problem (assuming it's within our supported data rates)
    2. If you want to encode/decode FEC data with one of our devices, we cannot do that

    Best,

    Shane
