1. A data communication system in a cellular phone device, comprising:
- a baseband module with a parallel interface;
a multimedia module with a serial interface;
a parallel/serial conversion module coupled to said baseband module and said multimedia module, wherein the parallel/serial conversion module comprises a parallel interface unit with a parallel bus;
a first-in-first-out unit coupled to said parallel interface unit;
a serial interface unit with a serial bus coupled to said first-in-first-out unit; and
a phase locked loop unit that tunes a clock for said parallel interface unit, said first-in-first-out unit, and said serial interface unit;
a display module coupled to said multimedia module;
a first serial bus connecting said parallel/serial module and said multimedia module;
a second serial bus connecting said multimedia module and said display module; and
a bypass signal to enable data to bypass said multimedia module directly from said first serial bus to said second serial bus.

Abstract
A data communication system comprises a radio frequency module, a baseband module, a memory unit, a parallel/serial module, a multimedia module, an image sensor module and a display module. The parallel/serial module performs digital signal processing and converts parallel bus data into serial bus data, and vice versa. The present invention provides an improved data communication method and system featuring a parallel/serial module that enables a serial data communication within cellular phone modules. The present invention will also reduce the cost of manufacturing and improve the performance of the cellular phone.
