− Ideal Solution for SERDES and Video Applications −

HILLSBORO, OR − OCTOBER 12, 2009 − Lattice Semiconductor and Epson Toyocom Corporation today announced a low-cost reference clock solution for SERDES applications. By utilizing Lattice’s ispClock™5400D device and the appropriate SG-710ECK CMOS oscillator from Epson Toyocom, a designer now has a low cost reference clock for SERDES applications such as XAUI or SDI Video. With this solution, SERDES-based designs no longer will require an expensive LVDS or LVPECL high frequency oscillator. XAUI, SDI Video and other SERDES applications can now utilize the ultra low-noise, programmable differential output of the Lattice ispClock device, driven by Epson Toyocom’s low-cost CMOS oscillator. This solution is a compelling alternative to traditional, more expensive high frequency differential clock so urces.
