It is said that coaxial has several advantages over ordinary
TOSLINK connections, a greater bandwidth being one of them.
Problem is, coax outputs are generally driver through a special
lossy transformer that rolls response off above about 12 MHz to
reduce EMI.
IIRC, TOSLINK has barely 7 MHz of bandwidth.
Have to look that one up, though. May be old information.
For parts like this - TOTX 111- yes - Toshiba quote 6 MHz in fact
http://www.semicon.toshiba.co.jp/td/..._datasheet.pdf
They quote 10 MHz NRZ data rate for other devices. However, 5 or 10
MHz NRZ data rate is not the same as a 10 MHz bandpass in the analog
sense we used with coax. It takes more bandpass than just the data
rate to transmit a NRZ singal with low error rates.
You gonna go into 'eye pattern' here ?
Probably the highest audio data rates that are widely used with
Toslink relate to the ADAT data format. Up to 8 24/48 audio channels
are transmitted over a single piece of TOSLink-type audio fiber, for
a total data rate of 9,216,000 bps, exclusive of any overhead. Ths
compares with 4,608,000 bps for 24/96 2-channel audio (again
exclusive of overhead bits), and 2,304,000 bps for 24/48 audio and
DD.
If ADAT was using a TOSLINK device for 9.2Mbps then presumably it
wasn't one of the consumer 5-10 MHz devices.
I don't know.
