Serial Interconnect Technology

Serial interconnect technologies has matured to enable high-speed switched architectures with excellent performance and scalability, as well as low pin counts and cost. Clock speeds do jump from 33-133 MHz in the parallel connectivity world, to 2-10 GHz in the serial connectivity world. The new high-speed serial interfaces offer the lowest pin count per connection and maximum performance through a fixed number of connector pins.


Serial InterConnect Features:

  • Layered protocol allowing choice of PHY for PCB, cable, or optical 
  • Multiple lane configurations, such as 1x, 4x, 8x, and 16x.
  • Isochronous capabilities 
  • Split-transactions
  • Flow control
  • Configuration and power management
