National Semiconductor
National's highly analog optimized FPGA-Link SerDes devices complement the digital flexibility offered by FPGAs to enable an optimally partitioned system. The FPGA-Link SerDes supports data rates up to 3.125 Gbps and incorporates highly effective signal conditioning (transmit de-emphasis, receive equalization) and clock conditioning (jitter cleaning) to drive popular interconnect, like CAT-5/6/7, Coax (50-ohm, 75-ohm), Fiber, and FR-4, over long distances. This family also supports advanced system configurations like failover (redundant I/Os) and daisy chaining (retimed output). These features make these devices ideal for communication systems, industrial cameras, LED walls (stadium displays), medical imaging, video transport, and display applications.
