GN1405C-Quad 5G SerDes with Equalizer

Brief: The GN1405C is a monolithic integrated circuit that enables serial backplane communication at 1.25Gb/s, 2.5Gb/s, or 5Gb/s by translating between a low speed 1.25Gb/s LVDS (ASIC) interface and a high-speed 5Gb/s CML interface using bit interleaving and bit de-interleaving.
The GN1405C is a quad device; thus there are four high-speed serial lanes in each direction operating at up to 5Gb/s, translating to 40Gb/s full duplex bandwidth.In the GN1405C, each high-speed serial input interface includes an integrated high IJT clock and data recovery circuit with equalization.Each high-speed serial output interface features very low jitter and allows for amplitude adjustment through the use of dedicated pins.The parallel interface is comprised of two 8-channel source synchronous 1.25Gb/s LVDS lines in each direction. Rate selection is made using dedicated pins, which determine the mapping of 1.25Gb/s parallel channels to/from the high-speed serial channels.
