CLC020BCQ

CLC020BCQ Application Field and Working Principle

CLC020BCQ is a high-speed deserializer which integrates 4 low-swing differential input receivers, a serializer for 4 differential outputs, a CMU module and a configurable I/O pin. It is a versatile chip perfectly suited for applications in many different applications in the fields of servers and storage, networking and communications, industrial, automotive, consumer and more. It is mainly used to convert serial inputs into parallel outputs and vice versa, providing greater flexibility and performance than non-serial solutions.

Working Principle

The CLC020BCQ deserializer includes a serializer, a 4-bit data receiver, and a configurable I/O pin. The serializer receives input data in a serial bitstream format, and reorders them in parallel, then transmits the data to the 4-bit data receiver. The 4-bit data receiver decodes the data, producing a parallel output. The configurable I/O pin is designed to generate and receive data from external devices such as system clocks, data valid signals, and other control signals.

The CLC020BCQ serializer, then, takes the parallel output from the 4-bit data receiver and reorders it into a serial bitstream format, transmitting the data for further processing. The serializer is configurable, providing adjustable output rate and optional holdover, as well as other features that can be programmed through the serial port.

Application Field

Due to its flexibility, the CLC020BCQ is exceptional in applications such as servers, storage and networking. The device has been used in products ranging from PCI cards, RAID systems, SAN switches, routers and more. Further, the CLC020BCQ is also popular in applications such as enterprise-class disks, industrial control solutions, and automation.

In the field of automotive, the CLC020BCQ has become a go-to device for its ability to sustain high speeds even in low-voltage conditions, making it ideal for applications such as self-driving cars. Further, the CLC020BCQ is suitable for use in consumer electronic products for its versatile I/O port and its small form factor.

Conclusion

The CLC020BCQ belongs to the family of serializers and deserializers, and it is popular for its ability to convert serial inputs into parallel outputs and vice versa. It has a wide application field, mainly in servers, storage and networking, industrial control, automotive and consumer products, and it is becoming increasingly essential in implementing advanced solutions.
