The PAS6201 is a gigabit Ethernet Optical Network Unit (ONU) system
on a chip dedicated for use in an Ethernet Passive Optical Network
(IEEE802.ah EPON). The PAS6201 integrates the Ethernet Media Access
Control (MAC) functionality, EPON protocol management, and advanced
classification engine and an embedded CPU. An integrated software
package provides a complete ONU solution. The PAS6201 ONU device is
shipping in volume today.
PMC-Sierra gigabit PON devices are based on the
GigaPASS™ FTTH architecture that incorporates a gigabit PON to gigabit Ethernet interconnect
with wire-speed packet processing and a programmable 32-bit RISC
platform. The GigaPASS architecture is a powerful technical
foundation on which to build high-speed, high-performance PON
network devices.
