Claim 17:
18. The method of claim 14, wherein the configurable timer circuit further includes a plurality of multiplexors coupled to the plurality of retimers, each multiplexor of the plurality of multiplexors includes a plurality of switches, each switch from the plurality of switches configured to receive a different portion of the retimed input data received from a corresponding retimer and output a different portion of the serialized data responsive to a corresponding selection signal from a plurality of selection signals, the method further comprising:
responsive to the data rate being half of the maximum data rate, enabling half of the plurality of switches of each of the plurality of multiplexors to select different portions of the retimed input data for output as a portion of the serialized data, and disabling a remaining half of the plurality of switches.
