Title:
LOW POWER SERIAL TO PARALLEL CONVERTER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/083279
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A serial-to-parallel converter includes a sampling unit that may, in response to a serial clock signal, sample a serial data stream and provide an even serial data stream, and an odd serial data stream. The serial-to-parallel converter also includes a strobe generator and a number of latches. The strobe generator generates a plurality of enable signals based upon the serial clock signal. The frequency of a given enable signal corresponds to a fractional multiple of a frequency of the serial clock signal. In response to a particular respective enable signal, each of a first portion of the latches may latch and output a particular respective even data bit. Each of a second portion of the latches may latch and output a particular respective odd data bit. The serial-to-parallel converter further includes a number of output flip-flops to output the data bits in parallel in response to an output clock signal.
