Techniques for enabling and disabling of a serializer/deserializer

An apparatus, comprising:

• a serializer operable for coupling with a communication channel;
• a deserializer operable for coupling with the communication channel;
• and
• circuitry configured to:
• identify information for communication via the communication channel via the serializer;
• activate, based at least in part on identifying the information, a transmission component associated with the serializer;
• activate, based at least in part on identifying the information to be transmitted and concurrently with activating the transmission component, a reception component associated with the deserializer;
• and
• transmit, via the transmission component, a signal via the communication channel that includes the identified information after the transmission component and the reception component are concurrently activated.

A memory system, comprising:

• a memory array;
• a serializer/deserializer operable for coupling with a host system via a communication channel;
• and
• circuitry configured to cause the memory system to:
• identify information to be transmitted to the host system via the communication channel;
• activate, based at least in part on identifying the information to be transmitted, a transmission component of the serializer/deserializer that is coupled with the communication channel;
• activate, based at least in part on identifying the information to be transmitted and concurrently with activating the transmission component, a reception component of the serializer/deserializer that is coupled with the communication channel;
• and
• transmit, using the serializer/deserializer, a signal that includes the identified information to the host system via the communication channel after the transmission component and the reception component are concurrently activated.

A host system, comprising:

• a serializer/deserializer operable for coupling with a memory system via a communication channel;
• and
• circuitry configured to cause the host system to:
• identify information to be transmitted to the memory system via the communication channel;
• activate, based at least in part on identifying the information to be transmitted, a transmission component of the serializer/deserializer that is coupled with the communication channel;
• activate, based at least in part on identifying the information to be transmitted and concurrently with activating the transmission component, a reception component of the serializer/deserializer that is coupled with the communication channel;
• and
• transmit, using the serializer/deserializer, a signal that includes the identified information to the memory system via the communication channel after the transmission component and the reception component are concurrently activated.
