Patent ID: 8415980

Claim:
A serializing transmitter, comprising: N multiplexing drive units, each configured to generate a series of output pulses derived from input data signals and multi-phase clock signals, wherein N is a positive integer, and wherein each multiplexing drive unit includes: a pulse-controlled push-pull output driver having first and second inputs and an output coupled to an output of the multiplexing drive unit; a first M:1 pulse-generating multiplexer having an output coupled to the first input of the pulse-controlled push-pull output driver and configured to generate a first series of intermediate pulses having a first pulse width at said output, where M is two or more; and a second M:1 pulse-generating multiplexer having an output coupled to the second input of the pulse-controlled push-pull output driver and configured to generate a second series of intermediate pulses having a second pulse width at said output.
