Abstract
A data load serializer for use in conjunction with a multi-stage, multiple parallel data channel serializer is described. Each data channel of the data serializer preferably includes a data sensing stage and a data latching stage. The serializer is preferably responsive to the provision of an address for selecting data from the main buffer memory for provision to the serial buffer memory and further preferably includes sequencer control logic for receiving the main buffer memory address and for directing the transfer of data between the main and serial buffer memories and an address counter for receiving a start location address referencing a beginning serial data buffer memory location of the storage of data sourced to or from the data serializer. The sequencer control logic provides for the selection of respective data from the serial data buffer for each of the parallel data channels and enables the parallel sensing and latching of the respectively selected data in preparation for sourcing from the data serializer.
