The DS90CR486 receiver converts eight Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) data streams back into 48 bits of LVCMOS/LVTTL data. Using a 133MHz clock, the data throughput is 6.384Gbit/s (798Mbytes/s). The multiplexing of data lines provides a substantial cable reduction. Long distance parallel single-ended buses typically require a ground wire per active signal (and have very limited noise rejection capability). Thus, for a 48-bit wide data and one clock, up to 98 conductors are required. With this Channel Link chipset as few as 19 conductors (8 data pairs, 1 clock pair and a minimum of one ground) are needed. This provides an 80% reduction in interconnect width, which provides a system cost savings, reduces connector physical size and cost, and reduces shielding requirements due to the cables' smaller form factor.
