<title>Extending HIPPI at 800-mega-bits-per-second over serial links using HOT ROD technology</title>

Abstract

This paper describes a serial link solution at 1. 25 Giga baud to extend the current distance of 25meters to up to 2 kilometers for the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)''s High Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) standard. The proposal uses Gazelle''s HOT ROD technology along with fiber optic links to serialize the HIPPI interface for data rates of 800 Megabits per second (Mbps). This scheme enables the use ofremote peripheral access interconnection of Local Area Network (LAN)s and Small Area Network (SAN) applications.
