CYP15G0401TB-BGXC

Telecom Overview

The CYP15G0401TB is a Quad HOTLink II Transmitter manufactured by Cypress Semiconductor. It supports serial signaling rates from 195 to 1500 MBaud per channel, achieving an aggregate throughput of 6 GBits/second. The device features four independent byte-wide channels with selectable parity check and input clocking options. It utilizes a synchronous LVTTL parallel interface and includes an optional Phase Align Buffer in the transmit path. An internal phase-locked loop (PLL) eliminates the need for external components. Each channel provides dual differential PECL-compatible serial outputs, source matched for 50Ω transmission lines without requiring external bias resistors. The component operates on a single 3.3V supply with typical low power consumption of 1.9W.

Telecom Feature Summary

• Second-generation HOTLink technology compliant with ESCON, DVB-ASI, Fibre Channel, and Gigabit Ethernet standards
• Integrated 8B/10B encoder/decoder with bypass capability for externally encoded data
• Built-In Self-Test (BIST) hardware for at-speed link testing across high-speed serial paths
• JTAG boundary scan support for comprehensive test access and control

Telecom Applications

• Interconnecting backplanes on switches and routers
• Server interconnection systems
• Video transmission systems

Telecom Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Confirm that the component matches the required pinout and electrical specifications for your design. Ensure compatibility with existing system clocks and voltage levels before integration.

Telecom Selection Notes

Select this transmitter when replacing parallel interfaces with high-speed serial links in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint architectures. Consider the supported signaling rate range and compliance with target industry standards such as Fibre Channel or Gigabit Ethernet. Evaluate the need for integrated encoding and BIST features to simplify system design.

Telecom Part Context

This component belongs to the HOTLink II family of physical layer devices designed for high-speed serialization and deserialization. It extends the HOTLink architecture with enhanced integration and faster data rates while maintaining serial-link compatibility with other HOTLink devices. The family serves as a communications building block for transferring data over optical fiber, balanced, and unbalanced copper transmission lines.

Telecom Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for compatible HOTLink II transmitters. Verify functional equivalence regarding signaling rates, interface protocols, and pin configurations before implementing any alternative part numbers.
