Serial / Parallel Converters | FIN224C

The FIN224C µSerDes™ is a low-power serializer/ deserializer (µSerDes) that can help minimize the cost and power of transferring wide signal paths. Through the use of serialization, the number of signals transferred from one point to another can be significantly reduced. Typical reduction is 5:1 for unidirectional paths. Through the use of differential signaling, shielding and EMI filters can also be minimized, further reducing the cost of serialization.
The differential signaling is also important for providing a noise-insensitive signal that can withstand radio and electrical noise sources. Major reduction in power consumption allows minimal impact on battery life in mobile applications. It is possible to use a single Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) for most applications, including bi-directional operation.
