3.25 Gigabit SerDes

Overview

The MXL-SRDS-3204 is a Quad Gigabit SerDes implemented in digital CMOS technology. Each of the four channels supports data rate up to 3.2Gbps. It is compatible with router-backplane links, PCI Express, 10 Gbps Ethernet (XAUI), Fibre Channel, SFI-5, SPI-5, Infiniband, and other communication applications. The frequency synthesizing PLL is fully integrated including the loop filter, and has a programmable multiplication factor (4, 5, 8, 10, 16, and 20). Each transmitter accepts an 8 or 10-bit parallel data, serializes it, and outputs the serial data differentially. Each receiver accepts serial differential data at up to 3.2Gbps, recovers the clock and data, de-serializes the data, and makes the data available at the parallel bus.
