DS25C400 Overview
Description
The DS25C400 is a four-channel serializer/deserializer (SERDES) for high-speed serial data transmission over controlled impedance transmission media such as a printed circuit board backplane or twin-axial cable. It is capable of transmitting and receiving serial data of 2.125 - 2.5 Gbps or 1.0625 - 1.25 Gbps per channel.
