Apparatus and method for the conversion of signals having a serial data pattern, is transmitted or suitable for a transmission via a synchronous serial transmission means with a high information speed in the output signals with a parallel pattern.

摘要

Apparatus and associated methods are disclosed for converting serial data pattern signals, transmitted or suitable for transmission over a high speed synchronous serial transmission media, to parallel data pattern output signals. The disclosed devices are modular, may each be packaged as a single semiconductor integrated circuit device and are cascadable. When cascaded, the devices are capable of generating parallel data pattern output signals to one or more data sinks from a single serial bit stream.
