TLK2201RCPG4

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The TLK2201RCPG4 is a Gigabit Ethernet transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It supports data rates from 1.0 Gbps to 1.6 Gbps and operates on a 2.5-V supply voltage with a maximum current of 111 mA at 1.6 Gbps. The device provides point-to-point transmission over 50-ohm or 75-ohm media using LVPECL-compatible differential I/O. It features a single monolithic PLL, IEEE 802.3 compliance, and an internal serializer/deserializer supporting both 10-bit TBI and 5-bit DDR interfaces. The component is housed in a 64-pin HVQFP PowerPAD package and is characterized for operation between -40°C and +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Supports full-duplex point-to-point data transmission over copper or optical media
• Integrates a monolithic PLL eliminating the need for external filter capacitors
• Provides comprehensive built-in testability including loopback and PRBS generation
• Features hot plug protection and low power consumption under 200 mW

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• Building blocks for baseband data transmission over controlled impedance media
• Physical layer interface devices requiring serialization and deserialization
• High-speed serial links utilizing 50-ohm or 75-ohm printed-circuit board traces

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G4' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm lead-free status and RoHS compliance. Confirm that the ordering code matches the exact thermal and electrical specifications required for the target application environment.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring a single-channel Gigabit Ethernet transceiver with integrated clock recovery. Ensure the design accommodates the 64-pin PowerPAD package requirements for thermal management and verify compatibility with the 2.5-V core voltage and 3.3-V tolerant I/O levels.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

This part belongs to the TLK2201 family of Ethernet transceivers from Texas Instruments. It serves as a functional equivalent to the TNETE2201 but utilizes a lower 2.5-V supply voltage instead of 3.3 V. The RCPG4 designation indicates the specific package type and manufacturing revision within the broader product line.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The TLK2201I is the industrial temperature range variant of this device. Designers should verify if the commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) of the standard TLK2201 meets the system requirements before selecting the industrial grade version.
