The MC92610 Quad is a high-speed, full-duplex, serializer/deserializer (SerDes) data interface that can be used to transmit data between chips across a board, through a backplane, or through cabling. Four transceivers transmit and receive coded data at a rate of 2.5 gigabit per second (Gbps) through each 3.125 gigabaud link. A rich feature set makes it easily adaptable to many broadband applications. The 3.125 Gig Quad is the latest generation in the SerDes product line. Like it's predecessors, it features a very low power CMOS implementation that nominally consumes less than 1800mW with all links operating at full speed.
