TLK2711AIRCP

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The TLK2711AIRCP is a multigigabit serializer/deserializer (SerDes) transceiver from Texas Instruments, designed for high-speed point-to-point data transmission. It supports serial interface speeds ranging from 1.6 Gbps to 2.7 Gbps, providing up to 2.16 Gbps of effective data bandwidth. The device operates on a single 2.5-V power supply with a voltage range of 2.3 V to 2.7 V and consumes less than 500 mW. It features an internal PLL for clock synthesis from a low-speed reference clock (80 MHz to 135 MHz), on-chip 8b/10b encoding/decoding, and programmable preemphasis levels. The component is housed in a 64-pin HVQFP (RCP) package and is characterized for industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +85°C.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Feature Summary

• Integrates an on-chip PLL to synthesize high-speed clocks from low-frequency reference inputs.
• Includes built-in 8-bit/10-bit encoding and decoding logic with comma detection for byte alignment.
• Supports hot-plug operations with power-on reset circuits and loss-of-signal detection capabilities.
• Offers programmable preemphasis control to compensate for signal attenuation over copper or backplane media.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Applications

• High-speed backplane interconnects
• Point-to-point data links using copper cables
• Interfaces for optical converters

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix RCP to confirm the 64-pin HVQFP package variant. Confirm that the device status is active or obsolescence managed according to current manufacturer announcements. Ensure environmental compliance documentation matches project requirements. Check for moisture sensitivity level classifications relevant to assembly processes. Validate that the industrial temperature range meets system operational constraints.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-lane SerDes solution is required for rates between 1.6 Gbps and 2.7 Gbps. The RCP package is suitable for designs requiring surface-mount technology with thermal pad options. Consider the 3-V tolerance on parallel I/O signals if interfacing with legacy logic families. Evaluate the internal loopback and PRBS test features for production testing efficiency.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Part Context

The TLK2711AIRCP belongs to the WizardLink transceiver family, which provides ultrahigh-speed bidirectional data transmission solutions. It serves as a replacement for parallel data architectures by reducing trace counts and connector terminals. The device simplifies system design by integrating serialization, deserialization, and clock recovery into a single chip, supporting scalable data rates for future upgrades.

Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Replacement Considerations

The TLK2711AIRCPG4 is a lead-free version of this component. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution. Ensure that any alternative SerDes devices maintain similar latency characteristics and support the required 8b/10b coding scheme.
