GENERAL DESCRIPTION
On-chip data Randomization/Scrambling and DC balance encoding and selectable serializer Pre-emphasis ensure a robust, low-EMI transmission over longer, lossy cables and backplanes. By embedding the clock in the data payload and including signal conditioning functions, the Channel-Link II SerDes devices reduce trace count, eliminate skew issues, simplify design effort and lower cable/connector cost for a wide variety of video, control and imaging applications. A built-in ATSPEED BIST feature validates link integrity and may be used for system diagnostics. FEATURES
