Abstract
An integrated circuit system may include a first integrated circuit (IC), a second IC, and interface circuitry. The first IC is operable to output a parallel data stream at a first data rate. The second IC is operable to output a serialized data stream at a second date rate. The second data rate may be different than the first data rate. The interface circuitry may be coupled between the first integrated circuit and the second integrated circuit. The interface circuitry may be operable to convert the parallel data stream received from the first IC into a serialized data stream with the second data rate. The interface circuitry may be also operable to convert the serialized data stream received from the second IC to a parallel data stream with the first data rate.
