Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) Basics for Your Next Microchip Ethernet PHY Design
This course will answer why SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer) is so compelling for Ethernet applications, and how the technology works. (Sept 2023)
Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) technology in Ethernet has evolved from its origins in purely fiber-based Ethernet physical layer devices to all modern, multi-Gigabit Ethernet PHYs. This course will answer why SerDes is so compelling for Ethernet applications, and how the technology works. Topics covered include SGMII and advanced topics relevant to multi-Gigabit (10Gigabit/25Gigabit) serial interfaces. Guidelines for PCB designs using Microchip SerDes-based Ethernet PHYs will be included in the discussion. After taking this class, you will be able to confidently understand the impacts and requirements for adding a Microchip SerDes-based Gigabit Ethernet PHY to your next design!
