TLK2201 SerDes Evaluation Modu

The board enables the designer to connect 50 ohm parallel buses to both transmitter and receiver connectors. Using high speed PLL technology, the TLK2201 serializes and transmits data along one differential pair. The receiver part of the device deserializes and presents data on the parallel bus. The high speed (up to 1.6 Gbps) data lines interface to four 50 ohm controlled-impedance SMA connectors. The designer can either use this copper interface or, with small solder modifications, send the high speed data to the GBIC-compatible laser module for an optical interface (not provided).

The TLK2201 Serdes evaluation module (EVM) board is used to evaluate the TLK2201 device (VQFP) and associated optical interface (GBIC Module) for point-to-point data transmission applications.
