Characteristics All proposals Differences High speed serial data September 2002 Characteristics All proposals High speed serial data Differential ( for >50cm distance ) Data rates in the order of 1.2 – 1.6 Gbps Extension to higher data rates by adding lines Protocols are very similar Differences Embedded versus separate clock (additional lines) 3 of PLLs Reusability of existing IP blocks Clock frequency Necessary logic for data packetizing/de-packetizing Benno Ritter, Philips

September 2002 Next Steps Discuss system implications of embedded versus non-embedded clock Continue to foster merger opportunities Clarification of IP situation for proposals Ballot on clocking scheme  Leads to baseline proposal before the November meeting Benno Ritter, Philips
