Digital-to-analog converters (DACs) with very high conversion rates and bandwidth are of special interest for optical coherent transceiver systems and arbitrary waveform generators. An attractive solution to provide several channels with very high data rates of tens of Gbit/s is to use a high speed serializer. We present a CMOS serializer consisting of a 19 channel 16:1 multiplexer (MUX) for output data rates up to 64 Gbit/s per channel and a low skew clock distribution network.

Hybrid System-in-Foil (HySiF) is one of the emerging branches of flexible electronics in which ultra-thin silicon chips are integrated with flexible sensors in polymeric foils. Intensive attention was given to the implementation of flexible environmental sensing platforms for logistics and food packaging. The aim of this work is the implementation of a sensor system demonstrator using HySiF components: an ultra-thin microcontroller chip, an on-chip temperature, and an on-foil humidity sensors.
