The Silicon Creations wide-range 250Mbps to 8.1Gbps 2-lane SerDes macro includes all high-speed analog/mixed-signal functions including PCS, Loopback, DFT and Calibration for two lanes of high-speed data transport between chips over FR4 and similar PCBs/backplanes and over quality cables. Macro is optimized for low power operation and is suitable for a variety of communication protocols. Trimmable on-die termination, linear equalization (CTLE) and Decision Feedback Equalizer are included to compensate for channel loss enabling longer cables. An Eye Monitor is included to verify the eye opening at the data slicer.
