The Puma family of 10G PHY devices comprises single-channel CMOS physical layer transceiver devices that include the SerDes function [10G/XAUI] and provide full implementation of the PMA, PCS and XGXS sub-layers of the IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet and INCITS 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel standards. This includes implementation of:
- 10 Gbps and 3 Gbps clock and data recovery
- Serialization/deserialization
- 64B/66B and 8B/10B encoding/decoding
- Synchronization, alignment and deskew functions

The Puma devices exhibit jitter tolerance and jitter generation performance characteristics that substantially exceed specifications. In addition, the integration of a limiting amplifier provides a single-ended input receiver sensitivity of 10mV, allowing the flexibility to choose optical components based upon price and power considerations. The XAUI interface is capable of driving 3.125 Gbps signals across 40 inches of FR-4 backplane.

Aeluros has developed 2 families of 10G PHY products specially focused on two different application segments:
- Optimized for XAUI-based optical modules (power and MDIO optimized)
- Optimized for line-card applications (includes adaptive equalizer for optimizing FR4 distance between PHY and XFP)
