AD8155ACPZ

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD8155 is an asynchronous, protocol-agnostic, dual-lane 2:1 switch with a total of six differential CML inputs and six differential CML outputs. The signal path supports NRZ signaling with data rates up to 6.5 Gbps per lane. Each lane offers programmable receive equalization, programmable output preemphasis, programmable output levels, and loss-of-signal detection.
The nonblocking switch core of the AD8155 implements a 2:1 multiplexer and 1:2 demultiplexer per lane and supports independent lane switching through the two select pins, SEL[1:0]. Each port is a two-lane link. Every lane implements an asynchronous path supporting dc to 6.5 Gbps NRZ data, fully independent of other lanes. The AD8155 has low latency and very low lane-to-lane skew.
