The “B” revision of the standard, released in 2011, has pushed the serial link data rates to 12.5 Gbps in order to enable the higher bandwidth requirements of today’s converter-based applications. This insatiable demand for data is what led to the need for JEDEC to introduce the JESD204 standard for a high speed serial link between data converters and logic devices. Relatedly, testing and analysis of this rapid expansion in bandwidth translates into the need for higher speed and capacity in electronic test equipment. In the medical industry, this translates into more detailed information from scans, X-rays, and other instruments. In communications networks, this means more bandwidth for the infrastructure and the components connecting to it.
Unquestionably, a hallmark of the Information Age is an explosion in the need to collect, process, and distribute larger and larger chunks of data. JESD204B Subclasses-Part 1: An Introduction to JESD204B Subclasses and Deterministic Latency
