Abstract
Described are high-speed parallel-to-serial converters. The converters include data combiners with differential current-steering circuits that respond to parallel data bits by producing complementary current signals representing a differential, serialized version of the parallel data bits. One embodiment includes complementary data-input transistors to expedite the data combiner's response to changes in input data.
