Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes)

Texas Instruments offers a complete portfolio of gigabit serial transceivers using serializers and deserialzers with speeds ranging from 0.1 Gbps to 10+ Gbps.

The family of SerDes devices from TI provides low power dissipation while enabling multi-gigabit transmission over copper backplanes, cable and optical links. The transceivers can be used in a variety of communications applications, including Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules, Ethernet PON (Passive Optical Networking), synchronous optical network OC-48 and OC-192 based equipment, CPRI and OBSAI wireless infrastructure backplanes, display and imaging interfaces, and many other applications.

NEW! TLK10034 – Industry's first all-in-one transceiver for 10 Gbps Ethernet standards

  • Multiple protocol flexibility: Each of the four bi-directional channels support 10GBASE-KR, XAUI, 1GBASE-KX, CPRI, and OBSAI standard protocols
  • Optimized link performance: Link training seamlessly brings up the link and optimizes the transmitter pre-emphasis levels minimizing system BER
  • Reduced power consumption: Consumes 825 mW/channel (typ), compared to competitive SerDes that consume more than 1 W
  • Higher signal integrity: FEC manages the signal integrity performance by compensating up to 29 dB insertion loss at 6 GHz to improve BER and system margin
