Abstract:
An example apparatus includes: digitally locked loop (DLL) circuitry coupled to a clock terminal and configured to generate a plurality of delayed clocks at a plurality of delayed clock terminals based on a reference clock of the clock terminal; first retimer circuitry coupled to the plurality of delayed clock terminals, a first data terminal, and a second data terminal, the first retimer circuitry configured to delay and serialize data of the first data terminal and the second data terminal using at least one of the delayed clocks of the plurality of delayed clock terminals; and second retimer circuitry coupled to the plurality of delayed clock terminals, a third data terminal, and a fourth data terminal, the second retimer circuitry configured to delay and serialize data of the third data terminal and the fourth data terminal.
