Circuit for end-of-burst detection

摘要

The present invention is related to a circuit for end-of-burst detection in a portion of a received bit stream. The circuit comprises
- a first counter for counting the number of bits in said portion,
- a second counter for counting the number of bit value transitions in said portion, and
- comparator means arranged for comparing the counted number of bits in said portion and the counted number of bit value transitions therein with preset values, said comparator means further arranged for generating a signal indicative of end-of-burst detection depending on the result of said comparing.
