Media Independent Interface - Quad Serial Gigabit Media Independent Interface

The Quad Serial Gigabit Media Independent Interface (QSGMII) is a method of combining four SGMII lines into a 5Gbit/s interface. QSGMII, like SGMII, uses LVDS signalling for the TX and RX data and a single LVDS clock signal.

QSGMII uses significantly less signal lines than four SGMII busses.

Famous quotes containing the words serial, media and/or independent:

    “The serial number of a human specimen is the face, that accidental and unrepeatable combination of features. It reflects neither character nor soul, nor what we call the self. The face is only the serial number of a specimen.”
    —Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    “Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    “The chimney is to some extent an independent structure, standing on the ground, and rising through the house to the heavens; even after the house is burned it still stands sometimes, and its importance and independence are apparent.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
