Abstract

A serializer circuit for a computer system is disclosed. The serializer circuit may receive multiple asynchronous signals, and generate a particular serialized signal by blocking transitions of a particular asynchronous signal that corresponds to the particular serialized signal in response to a detection of a transition of at least one of the remaining asynchronous signals that does not include the particular asynchronous signal. The serializer circuit may also generate a different serialized signal by blocking transitions of a different asynchronous signal that corresponds to the different serialized signal in response to a detection of a transition of at least one of the remaining asynchronous signals that does not include the different asynchronous signal. A digital circuit may generate a particular output signal using the particular serialized signal, and generate a different output signal using the different serialized signal.
