Hi Team,
A customer would like to know if it is possible to interface the Channel-Link II Deserializer directly to an FPGA instead of using the corresponding Serializer. They have an application where 8 Links have to be connected to an FPGA which ends up in huge amount of parallel lines. He also wants to know if the serial signal protocol (encoding, scrambling etc.) an intellectual property of TI or open for customers.
Regards,
Danilo
