How does a SerDes work?

A serializer/deserializer (serdes or SerDes)* circuit converts parallel data—in other words, multiple streams of data—into a serial (one bit) stream of data that is transmitted over a high-speed connection, such as LVDS, to a receiver that converts the serial stream back to the original, parallel data.

What is SerDes architecture?

Definition. SerDes is a functional block that Serializes and Deserializes digital data used in high-speed chip-to-chip communication.

What is SerDes in FPGA?

What Is a SerDes? A SerDes is an integrated circuit or device used in high-speed communications that converts between serial data and parallel interfaces, in either direction.

What is a SerDes and why do I need one?

The Purpose of SerDes

These functional blocks convert data between serial data and parallel interfaces in either direction. The primary utilization of SerDes is to facilitate data transmission over a single-line or a differential pair to mitigate the number of input pins, output pins, and interconnects.
