4. 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
