The TLK2201AJR is a member of the transceiver family of multigigabit transceivers, optimized for use with small form-factor optical transceivers that require footprints smaller than 14 mm. The TLK2201AJR gigabit ethernet transceiver is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 requirements for serializer/deserializer functions at 1.25 Gbps. The TLK2201AJR supports a wide range of serial data rates from 1.0 Gbps to 1.6 Gbps.

The primary application of this device is to provide building blocks for point-to-point baseband data transmission over controlled impedance media of 50 . The transmission media can be printed-circuit board traces, copper cables, or fiber-optical media. The ultimate rate and distance of data transfer is dependent upon the attenuation characteristics of the media and the noise coupling to the environment.
