CYV15G0403TB-BGC

Overview

The CYV15G0403TB is a second-generation HOTLink II serializer manufactured by Infineon Technologies. It features four independent serial channels capable of simultaneous operation at different signaling rates ranging from 195 to 1500 Mbps per link. The device accepts 10-bit parallel characters and converts them into serial data using internal phase-locked loops without external components. It supports half-rate and full-rate clocking, redundant differential PECL-compatible outputs, and synchronous LVTTL parallel interfaces. Operating on a single 3.3V supply with typical power consumption of 2W, it utilizes thermally enhanced BGA packaging.

Feature Summary

• Compliant with SMPTE 292M and SMPTE 259M video standards for high-speed serial transmission
• Four independent channels allowing simultaneous operation at varying signaling rates
• Internal phase-locked loops eliminate the need for external PLL components
• Built-In Self-Test (BIST) hardware enables at-speed testing of serial data paths

Applications

• Multi-format routers
• Video switchers
• Format converters
• Cameras requiring mixed data rates

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or official manufacturer channels. Confirm package integrity and check for moisture sensitivity indicators prior to soldering. Ensure compatibility with existing system voltage levels and interface requirements before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this serializer when multiple independent video streams require distinct signaling rates within a single device. Consider its compatibility with HOTLink II deserializers for complete point-to-point or point-to-multipoint links. Evaluate thermal management needs due to the BGA package configuration.

Part Context

This component belongs to the HOTLink II family of serializers designed for high-performance video applications. It extends the capabilities of previous generations by offering faster data rates and higher integration levels while maintaining serial-link compatibility with other devices in the series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other models within the HOTLink II family such as the CYV15G0404RB, which serves as a reclocking deserializer counterpart. Verify pinout and functional equivalence before replacing legacy HOTLink I devices.
