Method of multiple lane distribution (MLD) deskew

摘要

The present invention discloses a method of detecting and correcting skew across a plurality of transmitting lanes. Through the use of an N framer system, including a frame start signal and a frame synchronization signal, skew can be detected and corrected by writing data from a plurality of framers into offsetting bit locations of a plurality of buffers. The present invention also provides a method of transmitting data in a multiple lane distribution (MLD) transmission system.

1. A system comprising:
control circuitry for:
receiving data from a plurality of parallel bit streams;identifying a respective lane associated with each of a plurality of bits of data included in the plurality of parallel bit streams; andwriting the received data to a buffer in a serial sequence based on the respective lane associated with each of the plurality of bits of data.
