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.
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, and CCP2. HSIO 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 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 proven designs are available in multiple
technologies from 65nm to 180nm and from <1Gb/s to
>5Gb/s in standard CMOS.
