    摘要: A multi-lane transmitter and method of detecting a sync loss are provided. The method includes generating a high-speed clock signal and a sync reset signal synchronized to the high-speed clock signal. A sync loss pulse is generated based on the high-speed clock signal, and the sync loss pulse is provided to each of plural serializer circuits. Each serializer circuit generates a sampled sync loss signal by sampling the sync loss pulse in accordance with a parallel clock signal, and a Boolean value is assigned to the sampled sync loss signal and output. A logic block detects a sync loss when the sampled sync loss signal of any serializer circuit is out of sync from the sync loss pulse based on the Boolean value.

    摘要: Various example embodiments relate to unifying a plurality of parallel interfaces. A transmitting apparatus configured to serialize parallel bits implements a dynamic divider circuit for loading varying parallel bits into the transmitting apparatus. An input clock generator is configured to generate a desired and/or predefined clock frequency. The dynamic divider circuit receives the desired and/or predefined clock frequency and generates a parallel clock frequency by dividing the desired and/or predefined clock frequency based on a variable division input. Number of parallel bits loaded into the transmitting apparatus is based on the generated parallel clock frequency. Further, a shift register generates a bit stream from the parallel bits loaded into the shift register and the generated bit stream is converted to serial bit by a multiplexer.
