I've used a 16 bit parallel LVDS link at 150MHz for video over 3m of twist-n-flat ribbon cable, using standard 0.1" IDC connectors and fairly sparse grounding. I think it's easier not to to use a serdes solution. On Fri, Jul 10, 2009 at 2:57 PM, Michael Rose <mrose@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Joe, > > Probably not with a single lane.
