Features

The PAS7400 is one of PMC-Sierra's second generation GPON ONT System-on-a-Chip (SoC) device family, dedicated for use in GPON (ITU-T G.984) networks. The PAS7400 device is optimized for building a high-performance, extremely low power and low cost GPON ONT in Single Family Unit (SFU), Multiple Dwelling Unit (MDU), or similar configurations. The PAS7400 device integrates a GPON SERDES, MAC and packet processing functions, together with an integrated ARM926 controller and a Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) user interface.

The PAS7400 device is based on PMC-Sierra's field proven GigaPASS networking architecture, which provides market leading throughput and quality of service (QoS). The PAS7400 provide simultaneous, sustained wirespeed throughput at all packet sizes. The GigaPASS networking engine provides TR-101 compliant networking features, compliant with FSAN CTS specifications, including 802.1p/q bridging, packet classification, filtering and queuing, traffic shaping, and policing.

Product Highlights and Benefits

  • Full ITU-T G.984 GPON ONT functionality with integrated CPU and a complete software package
  • GigaPASS Wire-speed performance - Simultaneous 2Gbs downstream and 1.25Gbs upstream sustained throughput at any packet size
  • Advanced classification engine - Supports classification according to L2/L3/L4 fields, Double tagged VLANs. IPv4- and IPv6-ready
  • Advanced QoS features - Flexible traffic management enable queuing per user/service with WFQ/SP scheduling, shaping and policing
  • Power down modes - Enable up to 95% ONT power saving during power outages and standby periods
  • Form factor and RBOM optimization - Featuring smallest size package and PCB footprint
  • Field proven Interoperability - Using GPON software stack from PMC-Sierra
  • Low Power - Typical 1W at 1Gbs throughput
