Mixel Showcases the Newest Members of Its SerDes IP Family, Quad 1.25Gbps/Channel LVDS Serializer and De-Serializer at DesignCon2007.The New LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) A transmission method for sending digital information. LVDS sends data over data high and data low lines rather than data and ground. Serializer and De-Serializer IPs Offer a Total Bandwidth of 5.0 Gbps Suitable for Supporting High-End Multi-Media Applications SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Mixel Inc. today announced availability of the MXL-LVDS-SR-4CH Serializer and the companion MXL-LVDS-DS-4CH De-Serializer IPs. These LVDS SerDes IPs are new additions to Mixel's existing family of SerDes products which includes 2nd generation, high performance, Giga-bit SerDes technology supporting a wide range of applications such as XAUI XAUI 10 Gigabit Attachment Unit Interface XAUI Extended Auxiliary Unit Interface XAUI XSBI Attachment Unit Interface (IEEE 802.3ae) XAUI Ten Gbps Attachment Unit Interface , SATA, PCI-Express, Fibre Channel, SONET-OIF, and backplane. Both IPs support 4-data channels and one clock channel and achieve 5Gbps throughput performance at low power consumption. On the parallel interface, the number of bits per channel can be programmed to 7 or 10-bits. The IPs conform to TIA/EIA-644 standard and are silicon-proven in 0.18um process technology. "These LVDS SerDes IPs offer the highest data rate available for Flat Panel Display A thin display screen for computer and TV usage. The first flat panels appeared on laptop computers in the mid-1980s, and the LCD technology became the standard. Stand-alone LCD screens became available for desktop computers in the mid-1990s and exceeded sales of CRTs for the first time applications at excellent Jitter performance" said Ashraf Takla, Mixel President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "The low jitter performance, the programmable features such as the multiplication ratio, and the selectable pre-emphasis make for a compelling solution," he added. The MXL-LVDS-SR-4CH Serializer and the companion MXL-LVDS-DS-4CH De-Serializer offer many features to reduce power and improve performance. The transmitter employs selectable pre-emphasis to enable transmission over long haul with low Bit Error Rate. The number of parallel bits can be programmed to 7 or 10-bits. The receiver and transmitter were designed with special care to ensure matching between data and clock channels for maximum receiver margin. The design is modular and desensitized de·sen·si·tize tr.v. de·sen·si·tized, de·sen·si·tiz·ing, de·sen·si·tiz·es 1. To render insensitive or less sensitive. 2.

The MXL-LVDS-SR-4CH and MXL-LVDS-DS-4CH are silicon-proven in 0.18um process technology and soon will be offered in smaller feature sizes.
