TLK10081CTR

The Texas Instruments TLK10081CTR is an active transceiver designed for aggregating multiple lower-speed gigabit serial lines into a single higher-speed line. It supports automatic digital multiplexing and de-multiplexing, enabling the combination of 1 to 8 independent serial lines operating at speeds from 0.25 to 1.25 Gbps into a single line capable of 2 to 10 Gbps.

Key electrical features include a core supply voltage of 1V and I/O voltages of 1.5V/1.8V. The device offers flexible clocking, programmable high-speed lane alignment characters, and a wide range of built-in test patterns. It also supports MDIO Clause 22 control interface and 8B/10B ENDEC coding.

This transceiver is housed in a 144-pin FCBGA package with dimensions of 13mm x 13mm and is surface-mounted. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The device exhibits superior signal integrity performance and low power operation, consuming less than 800 mW per channel typically.

Applications for the TLK10081CTR include systems requiring efficient aggregation of serial data streams, such as optical networking and high-speed communication interfaces.
