The TLK1501 is a member of the transceiver family of multigigabit transceivers used in ultrahigh-speed bidirectional point-to-point data transmission systems. The TLK1501 supports an effective serial interface speed of 0.6 Gbps to 1.5 Gbps, providing up to 1.2 Gbps of data bandwidth. The TLK1501 is pin-for-pin compatible with the TLK2500. The TLK1501 is both pin-for-pin compatible with and functionally identical to the TLK2501, a 1.6 to 2.5 Gbps transceiver, providing a wide range of performance solutions with no required board layout changes.
