Serdes solutions work together
Analogix Semiconductor and Synopsys have successfully completed interoperability testing of their serdes solutions over Tyco Electronics' HM-Zd Legacy Backplane System.
Analogix Semiconductor and Synopsys have successfully completed interoperability testing of their serdes solutions over Tyco Electronics' HM-Zd Legacy Backplane System, a reference platform that uses standard, inexpensive FR-4 circuit-board material The Analogix and Synopsys serdes were able to maintain sustained error-free full-duplex communication at rates up to 6.25Gbit/s over trace distances of more than 40in of standard FR-4 backplane material
