- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What is the primary function of a SerDes in computer manufacturing?
**A**: A SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer) converts parallel data from processors into serial streams for efficient high-speed transmission over cables or optical links, then converts received serial data back to parallel format for processing, enabling reliable data communication in electronic systems.

### Q: What materials are used in SerDes components and why?
**A**: SerDes components are primarily manufactured using silicon semiconductor materials due to their excellent electrical properties, scalability for high-speed operation, and compatibility with CMOS fabrication processes, ensuring reliable performance in data conversion applications.

### Q: How does the Clock and Data Recovery (CDR) circuit function in a SerDes system?
**A**: The CDR circuit extracts timing information from incoming serial data streams, synchronizes the receiver's clock with the transmitter's clock, and recovers the original data by sampling at optimal points, ensuring accurate data reconstruction despite signal degradation during transmission.
