Abstract
A method and apparatus automatically maintains a JESD204 serial data link () as active by using an idle signal () and multiplexer selection circuit () to selectively switch signal data samples () and dummy samples () onto a serial interface input to a JESD module () for serialization into a plurality of symbols for transmission over the JESD204 serial data link () in response to a transmit clock signal () so that serialized symbols generated from signal data samples are transmitted when there are signal data samples available, and serialized symbols generated from dummy samples are transmitted when there are no signal data samples available.
