Family of Gigabit Ethernet Intellectual Property MoSys

MoSys has launched a new Gigabit Ethernet Physical Layer on copper semiconductor IP. The MoSys Gigabit PHY IP supports IEEE-defined 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet over Category 5 twisted pair cables and 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet over CAT 3, 4, and 5 cables.

The new product is the first of the company's GigaCell(TM) family of IP targeted at the Wide, Local, and Storage Area Networking markets. The Gigabit PHY is currently designed in a low power 130nm CMOS and can be readily ported to 65nm and 45nm processes.

The company has started offering Gigabit Ethernet PHY IP to pure play foundries, IDMs and fabless semiconductor companies.
