Texas Instruments, TLK2711HFGQMLV,

Radiation Hardened Device for Use in Ultrahigh-Speed Bidirectional Point-to-Point Data Transmission Systems

Texas Instruments has announced the TLK2711HFGQMLV 1.6 to 2.7 Gigabits per Second Serializer/Deserializer. A member of the WizardLink family of multigigabit transceivers, the device is qualified to MIL-PRF-38535 (QML) Class V and is designed to support serial interface in high speed data bus applications for aerospace equipment, such as satellites.

Ideal for High-Speed Backplane Interconnect and Point-to-Point Data Link, the TLK2711HFGQMLV provides very high-speed (2.5 Gbps) I/O data channels for baseband data transmission over controlled impedance media of approximately 50?. The transmission media can be printed-circuit
board, copper cables, or fiber-optic cable. With a 2.5V power supply and drawing less than 500mW, the device offers a lower power solution to other parallel data transmission architectures.

The TLK2711HFGQMLV can also be used to replace parallel data transmission architectures by providing a reduction in the number of traces, connector terminals, and transmit/receive terminals. Parallel data loaded into the transmitter is delivered to the receiver over a serial channel, which can be a coaxial copper cable, a controlled impedance backplane, or an optical link. It is then reconstructed into
its original parallel format.

The TLK2711HFGQMLV is offered in the high-performance 68-lead Ceramic Quad Flat Package (HFG). Currently, the TLK2711HFGQMLV is a convenience part number and the device is orderable to a DSCC SMD part number (5962-0522101VXC) with radiation data available. Samples are currently
available and order entry is open with initial production units available in October.
