INOVA INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

INGT165B/INGR165B Transmitter and Receiver from Inova Semiconductors

The ING165B Communications Link from Inova consists of both the GigaSTaR Data communication link Transmitter and Receiver. The INGT165B Transmitter converts parallel data up to 36-bit to a serial bit-stream. The differential Current Mode Logic (CML) outputs can directly drive Shielded-Twisted-Pair (STP) cables for distances up to 50 meters (approximately 164 feet). In addition, the Transmitter 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 that is fully transparent and without any protocol overhead.

INOVA PIGGYBACK BOARDS

ING_TRC Piggyback Board from Inova Semiconductors

The ING_TRC Piggyback Board (Copper Cable) from Inova comes equipped with the GigaSTaR INGT165B/INGR165B Transmitter and Receiver and a few other external components. The ING_TRC Piggyback Board from Inova offers all the functionality to be directly connected to a plain 2x36bit, 33 Mhz parallel Interface through a compact 140-pin connector. The duplex high-speed serial signals are available at a SUB D9 connector, which is directly mounted on the piggyback board with the pin out being compatible to the industry standard Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cables. Due to its compact size and variable distance of 6-14 mm to the main board, this piggyback can be easily adapted to any system environment.
