The CYP(V)15G0101DXB[1] single-channel HOTLink IITM transceiver is a point-to-point communications building block allowing the transfer of data over a high-speed serial link (optical fiber, balanced, and unbalanced copper transmission lines) at signaling speeds ranging from 195 to 1500 MBaud. The transmit channel accepts parallel characters in an Input Register, encodes each character for transport, and converts it to serial data. The receive channel accepts serial data and converts it to parallel data, frames the data to character boundaries, decodes the framed characters into data and special characters, and presents these characters to an Output Register.
