Microchip Technology EQCO125T40C1I8EX 12.5Gbps Equalizers/Repeaters/Drivers

Microchip Technology EQCO125x40 12.5Gbps Equalizers/Repeaters/Drivers come in a single chip that repeats high-speed 8b/10b coded data signals with a downstream bit-rate between 1.25Gbps to 12.5Gbps. The EQCO125x40 uses the same chip at device (camera) and host (frame grabber) for asymmetric full-duplex communication. These devices can be used as stand-alone cable repeater with simultaneous power and also for downlink and uplink over a single cable. The high-speed direction (or downlink) has a simultaneous complementary uplink, operating at 20.833Mbps or 41.666Mbps 8b/10b coded signaling. The EQCO125x40 family comes in a 16-pin 0.65mm pin pitch and 4mm QFN package. Applications include links for high-definition cameras, links between FPGAs, machine vision, military, aerospace, medical, broadcast and surveillance cameras, and intelligent traffic systems.
