Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Field: Basic communication processes (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. A method for controlling a slew rate for high-speed data communications, the method comprising:
receiving, by a serializer of a first electronic device, parallel data from at least one second electronic device along with clock rate information, wherein the serializer converts the parallel data into serial data, wherein the parallel data is received in one of a slew mode and a non-slew mode, and wherein the serializer receives the clock rate information from a phase lock loop (PLL) of the first electronic device;
generating, by a delay generator of the first electronic device, a delay in the converted serial data using the clock rate information, wherein the converted serial data is in the slew mode; and
multiplexing, by a plurality of pre-driver legs of the first electronic device, the converted serial data of the non-slew mode with the delayed data of the slew mode to control the slew rate.
