摘要： A serial communication system includes a transmitting circuit for serially transmitting data via a serial communication link including N channels where N is an integer greater than 1. The transmitting circuit includes an input buffer having storage for input data frames each including M bytes forming N segments of M/N contiguous bytes. The transmitting circuit additionally includes a reordering circuit coupled to the input buffer. The reordering circuit includes a reorder buffer including multiple entries. The reordering circuit buffers, in each of multiple entries of the reorder buffer, a byte in a common byte position in each of the N segments of an input data frame. The reordering circuit sequentially outputs the contents of the entries of the reorder buffer via the N channels of the serial communication link.
