The GigaSTaRÒ (Gigabit/s Serial Transmitter and Receiver) is a universal high-speed point-to-point communication link. It consists of two devices, the Transmitter INGT165B and the Receiver INGR165B.

The INGT165B Transmitter converts parallel data up to 36-bit to a serial bit-stream. The differential CML (Current Mode Logic) outputs can directly drive Shielded-Twisted-Pair (STP) cables for distances up to 50 meters and can directly interface to inputs of fiber optic modules to span longer distances.

The INGR165B Receiver converts the serial bit-stream to the original parallel data format, fully transparent and without protocol overhead.

Link-synchronization, bit-stream coding/decoding, clock-/framerecovery and parity-check are managed by internal high-speed resources.

GigaSTaRÒ links can be operated in parallel, scaling thebandwidth in multiples of 1.188 Gbit/s (payload data rate).
