3.2. Serializer

The serializer consists of two sets of registers. The first set of registers (FIFO) captures the parallel data from the core using the LVDS fast clock and then transfers the data to the serializer block. The MSB of the serializer feeds the LVDS output buffer. Consequently, higher order bits precede lower order bits in the output bitstream.
