Reference-clock requirements and frequency range supported vary from vendor to vendor, often following industry-standard
conventions. For example, SerDes solutions from Texas Instruments, such as the TLK1501, TLK3131, TLK3134 and
TLK6002, support fairly wide input-frequency ranges, and thereby support wide data ranges covering applications such as
Gigabit Ethernet, fiber channel, 10G Ethernet, common platform radio interface (CPRI) and other standards.
As rich media-based applications become more prevalent, using SerDes devices either as standalone or integrated into higher
level functions are becoming more common. SerDes devices provide a host of advantages for moving large amounts of data
within an application while enabling systems designers to meet power, usability, performance, and cost targets. Today's
SerDes ICs are highly integrated devices optimized for the specific application niche they target, Figure 3.
