3.2. Serializer

The serializer contains a set of registers that captures the parallel data from the core using the LVDS fast clock. The registers then transfers the data to the serializer block. The MSB of the serializer feeds the LVDS SERDES output buffer. Consequently, higher order bits precede lower order bits in the output bitstream.
