Rochester Electronics Introduces Continuing Support of Intel IXF1002 Media Access Controller
Rochester Electronics, the world’s largest authorized manufacturer of discontinued semiconductors, is announcing that it will provide, under a license from Intel®, continuing manufacturing and customer support for Intel’s IXF1002 Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC), which facilitates simple network management protocol (SNMP) and remote monitoring (RMON) management in gigabit Ethernet server environments.
By eProviding two independent 1 Gb/s intelligent, high performance MAC ports, the IXF1002 dual-port gigabit Ethernet MAC interfaces directly to gigabit Ethernet standard transceivers through either its gigabit media independent interface (GMII) or its gigabit physical coding sublayer (GPCS) interface. Optimized for switch and router applications, each MAC port includes a 4-Kbyte FIFO for packet receive and a 2-Kbyte FIFO for packet transmit.
