TLK1221 Ethernet Transceiver Evaluation Module (EVM)
The Texas Instruments TLK1221 SERDES Evaluation Module (EVM) board is used to evaluate the
TLK1221 device (40-pin 6-mm × 6-mm QFN PowerPAD™) for point-to-point data transmission
applications. The board enables the system designer to connect 50- parallel buses to both transmitter
and receiver connectors. Using high-speed PLL technology, the TLK1221 serializes and transmits data
along one differential pair. The receiver portion of the device de-serializes and presents data on the
parallel bus. The high-speed (up to 1.3 Gbps) data lines interface to four 50- controlled-impedance SMA
connectors.
