Description
The FIN224C
μSerDes™
is a low-power serializer/
deserializer (μSerDes™) that can help minimize the cost
and power of transferring wide signal paths. Through the
use of serialization, the number of signals transferred from
one point to another can be significantly reduced. Typical
reduction is 5:1 for unidirectional paths. Through the use of
differential signaling, shielding and EMI filters can also be
minimized, further reducing the cost of serialization.
The differential signaling is also important for providing a
noise-insensitive signal that can withstand radio and
electrical noise sources. Major reduction in power
consumption allows minimal impact on battery life in mobile
applications. It is possible to use a single Phase-Locked Loop
(PLL) for most applications, including bi-directional operation.

Additional Application Information
Flex Cabling:
The serial I/O information is transmitted at a high serial rate. Care must be taken implementing this serial I/O
flex cable. The following best practices should be used when developing the flex cabling or Flex PCB.
Keep all four differential serial wires the same length.
Do not allow noisy signals over or near differential serial wires. Example: No CMOS traces over differential serial wires.
Design goal of 70 to 130Ω differential characteristic impedance.
Do not place test points on differential serial wires.
Design differential serial wires a minimum of 2cm away from the antenna.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be operable
above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended. In addition,
extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability. The absolute
maximum ratings are stress ratings only.
