Core router

Block diagram

Overview

Our integrated circuits and reference designs help you create core routers with ultra-high bandwidth and low-power consumption. Use the interactive reference diagram below to design a high-speed core router with the right interface, physical interface device (PHY), logic and power management products to support the connectivity needs of today's internet backbone.

Design requirements

Modern core routers require:

  • Multi-Gigabit Ethernet transceivers that provide best-in-class signal integrity.
  • Efficient DC/DC converters to power the latest-generation ASICs, FPGAs and CPUs.
  • Small footprint with low power consumption.
