The AQ1002

Hot Chips 2011 - Networking

The 90nm AQ1002 is Aquantia’s 1st generation of monolithic, low-power 10GBASE-T PHYs

With power consumption of 6W per port for 100m of Cat6A/Cat7 cable, this generation of PHYs from Aquantia marked for the first time the technical superiority and advantage of the MMSP architecture.

In a 21mm package, the AQ1002 finds applications in both Ethernet switches and NIC cards.
