The Cortina Systems® CS8016 Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (GEPON or EPON) Optical Network Unit (ONU) chip (CS8016) implements functions for Customer Premise Equipment (CPE). Equipment vendors can build a complete CPE box with the CS8016 and add extra features using the embedded CPU, spare Flash memory space, external SRAM interface, and flexible GPIO bus.
