0.6Gbps to 1.5Gbps Transceiver GX5103 Compatible with TLK1501

The GX5103 is designed for ultra-high speed bi-directional point-to-point data transmission systems.The GX5103 supports effective serial interface speeds from 0.6Gbps to 1.5Gbps and provides effective data bandwidth up to 1.2Gbps. It is PIN-to-PIN compatible with TI‘s TLK1501.

The GX5103 replaces the parallel transmission data structure to reduce the number of transmission paths, connection terminals, and transmit/receive terminals. Parallel data is converted to serial data by the transmitter link and transmitted over a serial channel. The serial transmission channel can be a coaxial cable, a high-speed backplane interconnect or an optical link. Also the GX5103 can convert received serial data to parallel data.

GX5103 Performance:

- 0.6Gbps to 1.5Gbps (Gigabits per second) Serial to Parallel/Parallel to Serial converter.

- Hot-swap protected, low-power operation

- Serial outputs provide programmable pre-emphasis levels

- Interface to backplane, copper cable or optical converter

- On-chip 8-bit/10-bit encoding/decoding, K-code detection

- On-chip PLL synthesizes clock using low-speed reference frequency

- Low power consumption: 250mW

- 3V withstand voltage on parallel data input signals

- 16-bit parallel TTL-compatible data interface

- Loss-of-signal (LOS) detection

- Integrated 50Ω termination resistor on RX side

- QFP64 package

Summary: The GX5103 saves system cost and provides scalability for higher data rates. It is widely used in wireless infrastructure, telecom infrastructure, printers and other applications.
