TI Unveils 6.25Gbps CMOS Serial Link Technology

Texas Instruments introduced its first 6.25 Gbps CMOS serial link product. The device has eight 6.25Gbps bi-directional serial data channels on the sharp end and sixteen 3.125Gbps serial data channels on the blunt end, providing 100 Gbps data throughput. TI said its design could extend the life span of today's XAUI (10G Ethernet) backplanes by increasing port densities, thus preserving technology investments made by the system manufacturers. http://www.ti.com
