Method and apparatus for implementing multirate SerDes systems

A method for providing back-compatibility for rational sampling rate disparities between two circuitries, comprises: a) providing a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) operating at a rate different than that of the Symbols generator, which is coupled to a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) or an Analog to Digita...

Zusammenfassung:A method for providing back-compatibility for rational sampling rate disparities between two circuitries, comprises: a) providing a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) operating at a rate different than that of the Symbols generator, which is coupled to a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) or an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC); b) providing an interpolation filter coupled to said converter, which filter is adapted to perform sampling rate conversion operations on the samples using zero-stuffing, filtering, and decimation, or the like computation-saving algorithm; and c) obtaining the sampling of the symbols at the required and compatible rate.
