Abstract
An apparatus relates generally to serializer-deserializers. In such an apparatus, a first serializer-deserializer has a first data path and a data eye path. The first data path is coupled to a first data out interface of the first serializer-deserializer. A second serializer-deserializer has a second data path. The second data path is coupled to a second data out interface of the second serializer-deserializer. The data eye path of the first serializer-deserializer is coupled to the second data path of the second serializer-deserializer.

16. A method, comprising:
-
receiving first serial information to a first serializer-deserializer at a line rate; oversampling the first serial information on each of a first data path and a data eye path of the first serializer-deserializer to respectively provide first parallel information and second parallel information; wherein the first data path is coupled to a first data out interface of the first serializer-deserializer; outputting the first parallel information via the first data out interface; providing the second parallel information from the data eye path of the first serializer-deserializer to a second data path of a second serializer-deserializer; wherein the second data path is coupled to a second data out interface of the second serializer-deserializer; and outputting the second parallel information via the second data out interface. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
