Abstract
The present application is directed to data communication. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide a SerDes system that includes multiple communication lanes that are aligned using a clock signal. Each of the communication lanes comprises a receiver, a buffer, and a transmitter. The receiver uses multiple sampling lanes for data sampling and clock recovery. Sampled data are stored at the buffer and transmitted by the transmitter. There are other embodiments as well.
