Abstract

Embodiments include a serial interface circuit, serial interface method and an apparatus including a serial interface circuit. Embodiments of a serial interface circuit can include a frequency divider implemented by using a counter instead of a PLL. One embodiment of a serial interface circuit can include a data receiver to receive first serial data, a serial-parallel converter to convert the first serial data from the data receiver to first parallel data, a clock receiver to receive a first clock signal having a frequency corresponding to the first serial data, and a frequency divider coupled to the clock receiver to generate a second clock signal having a frequency corresponding to the first parallel data with the first clock signal where the frequency divider is configured with a counter.
