The TLK2501IRCP is a Multi-gigabit Transceiver used in ultrahigh-speed bidirectional point-to-point data transmission systems. The TLK2501 supports an effective serial interface speed of 1.5 to 2.5Gbps, providing up to 2Gbps of data bandwidth. The TLK2501 is pin-for-pin compatible with the TLK2500. The TLK2501 is both pin-for-pin compatible with and functionally identical to the TLK1501, a 0.6 to 1.5Gbps transceiver providing a wide range of performance solutions with no required board layout changes. The primary application of this chip is to provide very high-speed I/O data channels for point-to-point baseband data transmission over controlled impedance media of approximately 50R. The transmission media can be printed-circuit board, copper cables or fiber-optic cable. The maximum rate and distance of data transfer is dependent upon the attenuation characteristics of the media and the noise coupling to the environment.
