What does SFI mean in optical module

SFI, or Serial Framing Interface, is a key serial interface standard used in 10G SFP+ transceivers to connect optical modules with MAC/PHY devices or internal chip logic, such as XGMII. XFI, SFI and KR are all 10Gbps serial high-speed electrical interfaces, intended to allow transmission of 64B/66B encoded data in networking systems. Definitely not XGMII (32-bit DDR, was never really seen off-chip) or XAUI (4 lanes of 3. The SFI-5 Intellectual Property (IP) core enables user instantiation of an OIF-compliant SERDES Framer Interface Level 5 (SFI-5) core in LatticeSC/M Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The line of processors based on KeyStoneTM II architec-ture from Texas Instruments (TI) are complex heterogeneous processors which have tremen-dous processing power offering up to Dhrystone 19600 DMIPS (Dhrystone million instructions per second), 198.
