These excerpts taken from the MRVL 10-K filed Apr 1, 2009. Enterprise Transceiver and PC Connectivity Products We offer a portfolio of low power, high-performance PHY, LAN on Motherboard, or LOM, and network interface card solutions for demanding network connectivity applications. We provide these products to the enterprise networking, storage networking and PC markets. Alaska® Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Family: Our Alaska® family of GbE transceivers enables the development of enterprise networking systems where high performance and low power dissipation are competitive differentiators. Each member of the product family is based on our industry leading 1.25Gbps SERDES intellectual property, enabling seamless data transmission over either copper or fiber-optic cabling. The design of the Alaska® family of products incorporates sophisticated digital signal processing algorithms and

Table of Contentspower management techniques to achieve high data transmission quality and low power dissipation. The devices also support our VCT technology, which allow end-users to quickly and remotely analyze the signal quality and attributes of the data transmission cable, which can significantly reduce installation time and cable debug efforts. The advanced built-in diagnostic capability of our VCT technology help network operators pinpoint the cause of network malfunctions, thereby avoiding unnecessary equipment returns, on-site service calls by field support personnel or bringing down the network. Target applications include network interface cards, LOMs, enterprise routers and next-generation switches. Alaska® X 10 Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver Family: Our Alaska® X 10Gbps uplink and backplane transceiver products are the evolutionary extension of our FE and GbE transceiver technology. The family enables the accelerated deployment of 10GbE and Fibre Channel capable systems for the LAN, MAN and WAN markets. The Alaska® X transceiver family features low power consumption, high performance, and small form factor. Fast Ethernet Transceiver Family: Our 100Mbps Fast Ethernet physical layer products offer low power dissipation, small form factor, high performance and advanced features. The latest members of the Fast Ethernet PHY family offer very low power consumption of just 130mWatts per port, enabling network systems manufacturers to decrease system cost by reducing both power supply and fan requirements. Additionally, the devices support value-add features such as VCT technology used to diagnose the attached cable plant. Yukon™ Gigabit Ethernet PC Connectivity Products: Our Yukon™ connectivity products are targeted for the volume deployment of Gigabit Ethernet PC-client and server network connectivity solutions. The Yukon™ family of integrated, single-chip solutions is based on our proven enterprise-class Alaska® family of GbE MAC, PHY interface and associated comprehensive software suite. The Yukon™ devices are offered in an ultra-small form factor with low-power requirements, and are targeted for client and server network interface cards, or NIC, and LOM applications for both traditional peripheral connect interface, or PCI, bus and PCI-Express architectures. The Yukon™ products provide a wide variety of manageability features such as VCT technology, which reduces network installation and support costs, and is optimized for 32-bit PCI clients. With a low pin count for such a device, the Yukon™ product is designed to minimize board space, simplify signal routing and reduce the number of required printed circuit board layers with the goal of a cost-effective motherboard and low profile network interface card implementation.
