The ET2008 is an 8 port gigabit Ethernet Switch and PHY fabricated on a single CMOS chip. Packaged in a 388-pin PBGA, the ET2008 is built on 0.13 µm technology for low power consumption. Its primary target market is the small office home office (SOHO) switch space The integrated 10/100/1000Base-T octal PHY is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab standards. The ET2008 uses an over sampling architecture to gather more signal energy from the communication channel than possible with traditional architectures. The additional signal energy or analog complexity transfers into the digital domain. The result is an analog front end that delivers robust operation, reduced cost, and lower power consumption than traditional architectures.
