![]() Both Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet standards specify interfaces to fiber-optic and copper interfaces. Serial links offer significant flexibility over parallel buses in terms of the media used. ![]() Newer interfaces such as Infiniband or Gigabit Ethernet may be used for high-speed applications.įlexibility of serial links in communication system design Serial links can replace both the traditional intra-box (e.g., PCI) and the inter-box (e.g., Ethernet or FibreChannel) standards with one solution operating over printed circuit board (PCB) traces, copper cable, or optical media. A new paradigm is required to enable both chip-to-chip and inter-board communication at high speed, with lower I/O count and greater reliability.
