SerDes
Last modified: Wednesday, August 29, 2007
Short for serializer/deserializer, SerDes is an
integrated circuit transceiver used to convert parallel and serial data. SerDes converts data into a serial data stream and then transmits it over a
differential media. SerDes reduces the number of data paths and also the number
of connecting PINs (or wires) required.
