Abstract
A system and method for interleaving symbols to facilitate compatibility between serializer/deserializer (SerDes) units operating at different data rates multiplexes duplicates of a parallel data stream into a fast data rate serial data stream to form a serial data steam at a psuedo-slow data rate which can be received by a SerDes unit operating at the slow data rate. The psuedo-slow data rate serial data stream can also be received by a SerDes operating at the fast data rate by sampling each bit multiple times and demultiplexing the samples into duplicates of the parallel data stream.
