Abstract
Provided is a method for driving a SERDES circuit, which may reduce waste of a space of the SERDES circuit. The circuit driving method includes generating a common clock signal from a common phase locked loop (PLL) supplying a clock signal to a serializer/deserializer (SERDES) circuit, distributing the common clock signal to an eye opening monitor and a data transmission lane in the SERDES circuit, and driving the eye opening monitor and the data transmission lane using the common clock signal.
