Product Description
The VSC9210 provides forward error correction for any data rate and protocol operating up to 2.5Gb/s using a block oriented Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (FEC) algorithm RS(255,241). The device can be configured as a FEC encoder or a FEC decoder utilizing two 16-bit differential PECL I/O ports to interface with an external high speed multiplexer/demultiplexer pair. Clock dividers are provided on chip to facilitate control of external PLL circuitry.
