The Four Serializer/Deserializer Architectures
- Parallel SerDes: This architecture employs parallel data lanes for the transmission and reception. It is suitable for the applications where high data rates are required and multiple lanes can be used.
- Serial SerDes: In this architecture, data is transmitted and received using the single serial lane. It is more compact but may have limitations in terms of the data rate.
- Configurable SerDes: This architecture offers flexibility by allowing the user to configure the SerDes for the different modes of operation such as changing the number of lanes or data rate.
- Mixed-Mode SerDes: This architecture combines both the parallel and serial interfaces to provide a balance between the high data rates and compatibility with the existing systems.
High-Speed SerDes (Serializer-Deserializer) Interfaces
In this article, we will learn about High-Speed SerDes (Serializer-Deserializer) Interfaces. A High-Speed SerDes interface is a crucial component in modern electronic systems designed for the transmitting and receiving of high-speed digital data between integrated circuits or systems. It converts parallel data into a serial stream for transmission over high-speed channels and then reverts the serial data back to parallel at the receiving end.
