Abstract
A method, implemented in a serializer for quarter rate serialization, is disclosed. The method includes receiving a plurality of in-phase and quarter-phase clock signals defining a quarter phase clock. The method includes receiving a quarter rate data input and sequentially outputting data in accordance with the quarter phase clock. The method includes receiving at least one data input from amongst the quarter rate input and outputting a first logical output in accordance with the in-phase clock signal and the quarter-phase clock signal. The method includes receiving said at least one data input and outputting a second logical output in accordance a complementary in-phase clock signal and a complementary quarter-phase clock signal. The method includes outputting, an output associated with the branch.
