What is Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes)?

Powerful microprocessors and multimedia appliances that require large bandwidths are straining the limits of data transport and system performance as information technology networks continue to expand. Traditional techniques of improving system speed, such as increasing frequency, pipelining transactions, and extending the bus interface, resulted in several architectural difficulties, prompting the use of serializers/deserializers (SerDes). A serializer/deserializer (SerDes) is a circuit or integrated device that converts system on chip (SOC) data into serialized data and outputs it across a fast-moving electrical interface. It also assists in the conversion of high-speed serial input data into system-on-chip-organized data (SOC). Several serializer/deserializer (SerDes) interfaces are stacked together in a single package. SerDes is typically made up of a clock multiplier unit, lanes, and a physical coding subblock.

Moreover, the serializer/deserializer (SerDes) market uses a clock multiplier unit to handle transmitter timing and peripherals. The lanes are utilized to manage all of the serial interface’s outputs and inputs. There are two or four lanes in a serializer/deserializer (SerDes) peripheral. The data from the parallel interface is translated by a physical coding sub-block. The serializer/deserializer (SerDes) market reduces the amount of data pathways and connecting pins or wires necessary for data transport between two sites. As a result, serializer/deserializer (SerDes) helps in data transport while also conserving bandwidth. Currently, there are numerous architectures for serializer/deserializer (SerDes) devices, including a parallel clock, embedded clock, 8b/10b SerDes, and bit interleaved SerDes. Serializer/deserializer (SerDes) devices are utilized in a variety of telecommunication and storage system applications, such as fiber channels, SONET, Ethernet, and many more.

Global Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) Market Overview

As the amount of data generated grows, there is a greater demand for better data rates and transfer, resulting in the development of next-generation SerDes. Serializer/deserializer (SerDes) industry is being driven by end users’ demand for speedy data connections to download and stream HD movies, as well as exchange large datasets without any hassles. Also, the increased interest among end-users in the implementation of 5G technology is propelling the serializer/deserializer (SerDes) industry forward. There continues to be rising implementation of quicker serializer/ deserializer (SerDes) market for more efficient data centers.

Moreover, because of the proliferation of data centers and increased quantum computing activities, demand for SerDes chips is increasing. SerDes provides data transfer at a quicker and more cost-effective rate. As information technology networks expand, more powerful microprocessors and multimedia equipment with large bandwidths are required to push data transport and system performance limits. Traditional methods of improving the system speed, such as increasing frequency, piping transactions, and bus interface enlargement, resulted in a slew of design issues, leading to a surge in serializer/deserializer demand. Today, many systems send so much data to the network that data mobility represents a serious performance bottleneck.Furthermore, the extreme act of transporting data consumes a large amount of electricity, making moving data to a computer more efficient. Integrated data centers combine aging silicon with modern processors and memory, which is usually equipped with a faster network interface employing SerDes (serializer/deserializer) technology.

On the other hand, the COVID 19 epidemic has had a significant impact on critical activities in the industrial and manufacturing sectors. Every segment of the consumer electronics and communication industry was experiencing severe challenges in terms of production and supply. As a result of the lengthy lockdown, rigorous rules, and laws, the SerDes market was in decline, just like any other industry. Countries like China and Taiwan are major SerDes producers, accounting for a large portion of the global supply. However these regions were badly impacted by COVID, the supply and manufacturing rates have considerably decreased. As a result, the SerDes market value has dropped throughout the pandemic. On the other hand, important end-user industries such as data centers, automotive, consumer electronics, and optical fiber communication have decreased essential operations, limiting the SerDes market’s overall growth.

Additionally, the developments are being carried out to enable a SerDes in smart devices with lower power modes, as power conservation is a major concern for customers. For the majority of customers, battery life is the most important factor. Additionally, for critical applications, the latency rate of the devices is also taken into account. As a result of these issues, the manufacturers have decided to change the architecture. Increased investments in the SerDes industry are supporting these changes, resulting in a global increase in SerDes market value.
