Abstract

A demultiplexer circuit separates input data having different data rates into output data. A phase-locked loop circuit generates first clock signals having average frequencies that are based on a frequency of a second clock signal times a fractional, non-integer number. A serializer circuit serializes a set of the output data to generate serial data signals in response to one of the first clock signals generated by the phase-locked loop circuit.
