Product description
The merchandise is described in your letter as a Quad Transceiver for Gigabit Ethernet Item #VSC7186. The merchandise is a Monolithic Analog Integrated Circuit composed of silicon and has mixed signals (digital/analog). The article is part of Vitesse’s single and quad channel Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) serializer/deserializer (SerDes) devices for switches, routers, hubs, host adapters, test equipment and stackable and backplane interconnections. Each of the four transmitters has a 10 bit wide bus, running 125 MHz, which accepts 8b/10b encoded transmit characters and serializes the data on to high speed differential outputs at rates between 1.05 and 1.36 Gb/s. Each receiver samples serial receive data, recovers the clock and data, deserializes it into 10-bit receive characters, outputs a recovered clock and detects “Comma” characters. The Quad Transceiver Contains on-chip PLL circuitry for synthesis of the baud-rate transmit clock and extraction of the clocks from the received serial streams.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the Quad Transceiver for Gigabit Ethernet will be 8542.30.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for “Electronic integrated circuits and microassemblies; parts thereof: Other monolithic integrated circuits: Other, including mixed signal (analog/digital): Logic.
