Patent ID: 7468685

Claim:
A serializer comprising: a series of one shot circuits functionally connected so that each one shot triggers the succeeding one shot; each one shot defining an enable output, a first series of pass gates, each with an input coupled to a data bit, and each coupled to a first common output; and each of the first series of pass gates has an enable input coupled to a corresponding one shot output, wherein the data bit coupled to the pass gate input is transferred to the output when the enable is true; a second series of pass gates, each with an input tied to a logic level, and each coupled to a second common output; wherein the logic level input of each succeeding pass gate alternates between a logic high and a logic low, and each of the second series of pass gates has an enable input coupled to a corresponding one shot output, wherein the logic level coupled to the pass gate input is transferred to the output when the enable is true; and wherein when the first one shot is activated, a series of signal edges occur at the second common output and simultaneously a series of data bits are transferred to the first common output.
