A Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes pronounced sir-deez or sir-dez) is a pair of functional blocks commonly used in high speed communications to compensate for limited input/output. These blocks convert data between serial data and parallel interfaces in each direction. The term "SerDes" generically refers to interfaces used in various technologies and applications. The primary use of a SerDes is to provide data transmission over a single line or a differential pair in order to minimize the number of I/O pins and interconnects.

Digital signal processing based de-serializer
ActiveUS7336729B2Lower performance requirementsSolve problemsElectric signal transmission systemsAmplitude-modulated carrier systemsDigital signal processingSerialization
A DSP based SERDES performs compensation operations to support high speed de-serialization. A receiver section of the DSP based SERDES includes one or more ADCs and DSPs. The ADC operates to sample (modulated) analog serial data and to produce digitized serial data (digital representation of the modulated analog serial data). The DSP communicatively couples to the ADC and receives the digitized serial data. Based upon the known characteristics of the digitized serial data and the digitized serial data itself, the DSP determines compensation operations to be performed upon the serial data to compensate for inadequacies of the receiver and / or channel response. These compensation operations may be (1) performed on the analog serial data before digitization by the ADC; (2) applied to the ADC to modify the operation of the ADC; and / or (3) performed on the digitized serial data by the DSP or another device.

Apparatus and method for testing and debugging an integrated circuit
An integrated circuit which utilizes a serial trace output interface instead of the known parallel trace output interface for transferring test data from the integrated circuit, thereby reducing the number of pins needed for outputting test data. Specifically, a preferred embodiment of the present invention uses a serializer / deserializer (SERDES) interface which captures output testing data in frames, serializes the framed data, and outputs the serialized data on at least one pin. The output serialized data is deserialized, and the deserialized data is synchronized in order to find the frame boundaries. The synchronized frames are then unpacked to retrieve the original testing data. Another preferred embodiment of the present invention uses a bi-directional SERDES both for inputting testing and debugging instructions and data from the analysis software and for outputting testing and debugging results and data to the analysis software.

Real-Time Eye Monitor for Statistical Filter Parameter Calibration
In described embodiments, filter parameters for a filter applied to a signal in, for example, a Serializer / De-serializer (SerDes) receiver and / or transmitter are generated based on real-time monitoring of a data eye. The real-time eye monitor monitors data eye characteristics of the signal present in a data path, the data path applying the filter to the signal. The eye monitor generates eye statistics from the monitored data eye characteristics and an adaptive controller generates a set of parameters for the filter of the data path for statistical calibration of the data eye, wherein the eye monitor continuously monitors the data eye and the adaptive controller continuously generates the set of parameters based on the eye statistics.

InactiveUS7756197B1Advantageously highly scaleableIncrease data rateCorrect operation testingTransmission monitoringFinite impulse responseTransceiver
A relatively high-speed serial data transmitter incorporates built in self test (BIST). The BIST circuit advantageously provides tests modes to obviate the need to build expensive test equipment for high-speed serial data devices, such as a serializer / deserializer (SerDes) or other transceivers. Multiple data paths in a finite impulse response (FIR) filter of transmitter of the SerDes or a transceiver can be independently tested. The transmitter output can also be selectively degraded to test a receiver of a transceiver. An attenuated output signal can be provided to test receiver sensitivity. A low-pass filter can be invoked to emulate a backplane, while a loopback circuit can provide the emulated backplane attenuation to the receiver to permit testing of the equalization circuitry of a receiver without requiring the presence of an actual backplane for testing.

Configurable ports for a host ethernet adapter
A system and method in accordance with the present invention allows for an adapter to be utilized in a server environment that can accommodate both a 10 G and a 1 G source utilizing the same pins. This is accomplished through the use of a high speed serializer / deserializer (high speed serdes) which can accommodate both data sources. The high speed serdes allows for the use of a relatively low reference clock speed on the NIC to provide the proper clocking of the data sources and also allows for different modes to be set to accommodate the different data sources. Finally the system allows for the adapter to use the same pins for multiple data sources.

Method and apparatus for auto-protocol discrimination between fibre channel, SAS and SATA devices
InactiveUS20070223517A1No wasteQuick serviceError preventionFrequency-division multiplex detailsAutonegotiationData rate
Auto-discrimination between FC and SATA devices upon insertion of a device into a port of a FAST-compatible switch is disclosed. Without user intervention, the port is able to determine the type of device attached, set the appropriate data rate in the Phy or SERDES and, in the case of FC or SATA drives, start the disk insertion process into the active switch zones. The SERDES is first initialized to FC speeds, and the receive path is searched for a receive signal. Upon detecting a receive signal, the detection circuitry then checks to see if a valid SATA Out Of Band (OOB) sequence is received. If a valid SATA OOB sequence is received, the SERDES is configured for SATA speeds and analog settings. If a valid SATA OOB sequence is not received, and instead a FC auto-negotiation process runs to completion, the SERDES remains at FC speeds.

Sending and/or receiving serial data with bit timing and parallel data conversion
A serializer and a deserializer are disclosed and shown operating singly or as a pair. The invention operates independently from any outside system reference clock. The inventive system provides an internal bit clock that serializes the data when sending and de-serializes the data when receiving. A bit clock or pulse travels with the data word bits to define when a bit is stable. The system uses word boundary bits operating with a bit clock to distinguish different data words, as described in the parent application. The system operates either synchronously or asynchronously with the base computer or other such digital system, including I / O devices. The invention finds use where new data to be sent is strobed into the serializer, but also where a change in the data bit content itself will cause the changed data to be loaded into the serializer and sent bit by bit. The system operates where new data is strobed or loaded by the serializer (not the base computer system) when the last data word has been sent. In this case a signal is generated when the last word has been sent in the serializer that causes new data to be loaded for sending. Half duplex and full duplex configurations as disclosed. Similar, corresponding operations occur at the deserializer.

Serializer/deserializer circuit for jitter sensitivity characterization
InactiveUS7251764B2Easily and in situ characterizeParallel/series conversionDigital circuit testingData streamComputer science
Disclosed herein is an improved serializer / deserializer (SERDES) circuit (102) having built-in self-test capabilities that is configured to perform an in-situ jitter sensitivity characterization of the clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit (108). To that end, a delay perturbation is added to the serial data stream at the serializer (120) output, typically using a variable delay (DEL) line (116). Then, the perturbed serial data stream is looped back to the CDR circuit. A dedicated circuit in the control logic (112) coupled to the DEL line and the deserializer circuit (110) analyzes the recovered data to characterize the sensitivity of the CDR circuit to the jitter frequency. By continuously modifying the output delay of said serial data stream, i.e. the amplitude and the frequency of the perturbation, one can generate a perturbed serial data stream, very close to the real jittered data.
