Silicon Creations High Speed I/O

Silicon Creations has experience with high speed serial links from 200Mb/s up to 10Gb/s. Recent projects include standards such as:

  • SONET up to OC-192
  • PCI Express
  • DVI
  • Ethernet up to 10GE
  • CCP2

Silicon Creations has a wide range of silicon-proven building blocks which can be quickly customized or assembled to help build a serial link solution for virtually any problem. Silicon Creations' high speed I/O projects have been as small as a single serializer circuit and as large as a custom chip set containing 7 PLL/CDRs with a custom transmission protocol.

Silicon-proven high speed I/O designs are available in multiple technologies from 65nm to 180nm and from <1Gb/s to >5Gb/s in standard CMOS.

Silicon Creations High-Speed I/O

Shown above: A Silicon Creations custom chip set designed to aggregate and serialize multiple serial links into a single 5.5Gb/s serial link for optical transmission. The chip set contains a 5.5Gb/s SERDES pair, multiple CDRs that operate over a continuous 8:1 range up to 1.65Gb/s, a proprietary coding and channel alignment scheme, and a novel clock re-synthesis loop
