news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-09 11:41:44

OpenSERDES Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) is the most important functional block used in high speed communication. SerDes converts parallel data into a serial (one bit) stream of data that is transmitted over a high-speed connection, such as LVDS, to a receiver that converts the serial stream back to the original, parallel data. A global CLOCK signal is present to sequence the serialization and deserialization of data from one block to another. Technology: Skywater OpenPDK 130nm Tools Use
