serdes technical

"and multi-standard SerDes IP including MIPI C-PHY/D-PHY combo IP"

SerDes (short for serializer/deserializer) is an electronic function that converts parallel streams of data into a single fast serial stream and then converts it back, like packing many lanes of traffic into one high-speed highway and unpacking them at the other end. Investors care because SerDes chips and blocks determine how quickly and efficiently devices, data centers and networks can move information; improvements or bottlenecks affect product performance, production costs, and demand across the semiconductor and communications supply chain.

lvds technical

"Mixel MIPI D-PHY/LVDS Combo: Dual-mode PHY supporting MIPI D-PHY and LVDS"

LVDS (low-voltage differential signaling) is an electrical standard for sending high-speed data between chips or devices using a pair of wires that carry opposite voltages to cancel noise. Think of it like a balanced two-lane road where opposite traffic keeps the path stable and fast. Investors care because LVDS affects product performance, power use, and compatibility in markets like chips, displays, and networking, influencing manufacturers’ costs, design choices, and competitive edge.
