XR3085XID-F

The XR3085XID-F is a three-channel, 8-bit serializer/deserializer (SerDes) transceiver chip used for many high-speed serial applications. As a three-channel device, it can be used to multiplex or de-multiplex (serialize or deserialize) up to three low speed parallel data streams with a higher speed serial data lane. It is commonly used in one of two configurations: a “Multiplexer” configuration, where it multiplexes (serializes) three low speed parallel data inputs into one high speed serial output, or a “DeMultiplexer” configuration, where it de-multiplexes (deserializes) a single high speed serial data input into three low speed parallel data outputs.

The XR3085XID-F is an example of an interface driver, receiver, or transceiver. A transceiver is an integrated circuit (IC) devices used for the functional interconnection of two separate data communications platforms, such as two computers or a computer and a peripheral device. The transceiver includes both drivers and receivers. Transceivers convert data from one format to another allowing two devices to communicate by transferring data between two physical networks in a network bridge.

The transceiver’s drivers transform input data, such as electrical signals, into an output data signal. The receiver then captures data from the driving device and transforms it into a signal that a computing device can interpret. A transceiver is required for every transmission or reception of data, so the use of a transceiver chip such as the XR3085XID-F eliminates the need for two separate driver and receiver chips.

The XR3085XID-F is a robust transceiver capable of operating in Temperature-Independent, Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) signaling environments. It employs 12-bit phasemux rate multiplication techniques to support data rates up to 622 Mbps. The XR3085XID-F provides single-end Rx inputs, allowing for flexibility in connecting to twisted pair, coaxial, and single-ended devices. It features extremely low propagation and pulse skew between channels, and is able to run at clock rates of up to 155 MHz. It is also pin compatible with the XR3085XCR family of LVDS transceivers.

In order to understand the working principle of the XR3085XID-F, it is important to understand how LVDS works. LVDS is a low-voltage signaling system designed to increase data transfer speed and reduce electromagnetic interference when transmitting data over copper wires. LVDS uses differential signaling, which means that data is transmitted on two wires instead of one, with each wire carrying the inverse of the other. The difference in voltage between the two wires is what carries the data. This allows for much faster transmission speeds than traditional single-ended communication protocols. The XR3085XID-F is optimized to support LVDS data rates up to 622 Mbps, significantly faster than most Serial ATA (SATA) systems.

The XR3085XID-F is an ideal choice for applications that require fast and reliable data transmission, such as high-end cameras, medical imaging, gigabit Ethernet, and wireless base stations. As a three-channel transceiver, it can be used to multiplex or de-multiplex (serialize or deserialize) data between low speed parallel data streams, eliminating the need for two chips and offering a cost effective solution. Its high data PLL and low noise and jitter ensure maximum signal integrity and reliable performance in LVDS environments.

In conclusion, the XR3085XID-F is a three-channel serializer/deserializer transceiver that operates in a LVDS environment, allowing data rates up to 622 Mbps. It features robust drivers and receivers along with low voltage, low noise, and low jitter, ensuring reliable and fast data transmission. Ideal applications for the XR3085XID-F include high-end cameras, medical imaging, gigabit Ethernet, and wireless base stations.
