The TLK2711AIRCP is a Multigigabit Transceivers intended for use in ultrahigh-speed bidirectional point-to-point data transmission systems. It supports an effective serial interface speed of 1.6 to 2.7Gbps, providing up to 2.16Gbps of data bandwidth. The primary application of this chip is to provide very high-speed I/O data channels for point-to-point baseband data transmission over controlled impedance media of approximately 50R. The transmission media can be printed-circuit board, copper cables or fibre-optic cable. The maximum rate and distance of data transfer is dependent upon the attenuation characteristics of the media and the noise coupling to the environment. This device can also be used to replace parallel data transmission architectures by providing a reduction in the number of traces, connector terminals and transmit/receive terminals.
