Abstract:
A system and method include a SerDes transmitter comprising a digital block operating in a digital voltage domain. The digital block can be configured to receive a first group of bits of data in parallel and store history bits from another group of data. The SerDes transmitter can further comprise an analog block operating in an analog voltage domain. The analog block can be configured to receive the first group of bits of data from the digital block, receive the history bits from the digital block, generate a plurality of combinations of bits with one or more bits from the first group of bits and zero or more bits from the history bits, align each combination of bits to a phase of a multi-phase clock; and input each combination into an output driver.
