VSC7124
Quad Port Bypass Circuit
Features
• ANSI X3T11 Fibre Channel Compliant at 1.0625Gb/s
• IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet Compliant at 1.25Gb/s
• Five Port Bypass Circuits (PBCs)
• On-Chip Transmit Termination
General Description
The VSC7124 contains five cascaded Port Bypass Circuits (PBCs) used to steer serial signals. This part is typically used in distribu ting Fibre C hannel signals t o an ar ray of disk dr ives in a n FC-A L loo p as il lustrat ed in Figure 1. The VSC7124 can b e used with an y of the Vitesse JBOD circuits to implem ent FC-AL JBODs of
virtually any size. In Figure 1, the first VSC7127’s CRU is configured as a Repeater to attenuate jitter. The
VSC7124 does not contain a CR U in order to reduce po wer and co st. The second VSC712 7’s CRU is configured as a retimer so that the output of the device is a jitter compliance point.
Each PBC is a multiplexer that is controlled by the corresponding SELx line which, if HIGH, selects the external input or, if LOW, selects the output of the previous PBC.

Application Example
A 12-port JBOD is shown in Figure 1. This dual l oop ap pli cat i on use s one VSC 7127 R, on e VSC7127T and one
VSC7124 on each loop in order to configure the FC-AL disk arr ay. Functional drives are included in the FCAL loop while nonfunctional or missing drives (numbers 2, 7, 9) are excluded.
