Abstract
In embodiments of a serializing transmitter, the serializing transmitter includes one or more multiplexing drive units that each generate a series of output pulses derived from input data signals and multi-phase clock signals. Each of the multiplexing drive units includes a pulse-controlled push-pull output driver that has first and second inputs, and an output coupled to an output of the multiplexing drive unit. Each of the multiplexing drive units also includes a first M:1 (where M is two or more) pulse-generating multiplexer having an output coupled to the first input of the pulse-controlled push-pull output driver, and generating a first series of intermediate pulses at the output; 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 generating a second series of intermediate pulses at the output.
