ACS #0002 Application Case Study w w w.ardentconcepts.com 28 Gbps SerDes A major IC Manufacturer was developing a next generation chipset with multiple lanes of high speed SerDes for a highly integrated, scalable metro transport solution with reduced power, cost and complexity. The characterization board for this chipset had nearly 400 channels and the customer was seeking the most cost effective method to connect all of the high speed lanes out to test instrumentation for performance validation. Problems Faced During Application The IC Manufacturer selected the 12 Channel version Ardent TRTM Multicoax cable assembly to access the high speed lanes on their characterization board. This solution provided a high density connection that dramatically reduced the amount of real estate need
