"The announcement of our high-performance Gigabit PHY is our first strategic move into the mixed-signal IP market," stated Max Bathaee, Director of Mixed-Signal Marketing at MoSys. "In the past, availability of high performance network products was limited to a few vendors due to the complexity of mixed-signal designs. This IP will enable our customers to develop advanced, highly-integrated networking SoCs for a broad range of applications including wireless networks, Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP), Network Switches, Backbone, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), and LAN on Motherboard (LoM) solutions."

The MoSys Gigabit PHY IP supports IEEE-defined 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet over Category 5 (CAT 5) twisted pair cables and 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet over CAT 3, 4, and 5 cables. The Gigabit PHY is currently designed in a low power 130nm CMOS and can be readily ported to 65nm and 45nm processes. MoSys offers a multi-port Gigabit PHY with up to 8 integrated ports ready to be integrated with a System-on-Chip (SoC).

The Gigabit Ethernet PHY IP is available now to pure play foundries, IDMs and fabless semiconductor companies.
