Abstract
An apparatus and method therefor for a receiver are disclosed. In this apparatus, at least one delay line is configured to receive input data from a communication lane and provide repetitions of the input data delayed with respect to one another. An exclusive disjunction combinatorial circuit is configured to receive the input data and the repetitions thereof and to generate a discontinuity-detection signal for codeword alignment responsive to successive linear combination by exclusive disjunction of the input data and the repetitions thereof to cancel out portions of repeated sequences of the input data for detection of at least one type of discontinuity in the input data.
