Texas InstrumentsTLK1501EVM

The TLK1501 serdes evaluatiom module (EVM) board is used to evaluate the TLK1501 device (VQFP) and associated optical interface (NetLight™) for point-to-point data transmission applications. The board enables the designer to connect 50 ohm parallel buses to both transmitter and receiver connectors. The TLK1501, using high speed PLL technology, serializes, encodes (8 b/10 b) and transmits data along one differential pair. The receiver part of the device deserializes, decodes and presents data on the parallel bus. The high speed (up to 1.6 Gbps) data lines interface to four 50 ohm controlled-impedance SMA connectors.

Some of the advanced features offered by this board include:

PCB (printed-circuit board) is designed for high-speed signal integrity
Flexibility--The PCB can be configured for copper or optical interfaces
SMA and parallel fixtures are easily connected to test equipment
All input/output signals are accessible for rapid prototyping
Analog and digital power planes can be supplied through separate banana jacks for isolation or can be combined using ferrite bridging networks
Series termination resistors provide parallel RD outputs
Onboard capacitors provide ac-coupling of high-speed signals
