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

Claim 0:
1. A first electronic device for controlling a slew rate for high-speed data communications, the first electronic device comprising:
a serializer configured to receive parallel data from at least one second electronic device along with clock rate information, and convert 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 clock rate information is received from a phase lock loop (PLL) of the first electronic device;
a delay generator configured to generate a delay in the converted serial data using the clock rate information, wherein the converted serial data is in the slew mode;
a plurality of pre-driver legs configured to multiplex the converted serial data of the non-slew mode with the delayed data of the slew mode to control the slew rate;
a plurality of driver legs configured to receive the multiplexed data from the plurality of pre-driver legs, and transfer the multiplexed data to the at least one second electronic device; and
at least one of a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and a current-controlled oscillator (CCO) configured to generate the clock rate information, wherein the clock rate information comprises a half-rate clock.
