Abstract :
Utilizing National Semiconductor´s 0.8-μm ABiC IV BiCMOS/ECL gate array with an embedded phase-locked loop (PLL), a serial-in-parallel-out (SIPO) and parallel-in-serial-out (PISO) chip set has been developed for 531 Mb/s fibre channel applications. The PISO device includes a high-drive ECL differential output buffer that can be used to drive shielded twisted pair (STP) cable up to 50 m, far exceeding the fibre channel standard wthich specifies 265.625 Mb/s on STP up to 50 m
