Abstract
A system may include a modulator configured to generate a modulated data stream of samples from an input signal wherein each value of data in the modulated data stream when encoded is represented by a multi-bit code, wherein the modulator comprises a quantizer configured to quantize the modulated data stream from the input signal and feed back the modulated data stream as a feedback signal to an input of the modulator and a memory configured to store one or more samples of the modulated data stream. The system may also include an encoder configured to generate a synchronized serialized code stream from the modulated data stream. The quantizer may be configured to, based on the one or more samples of the modulated data stream stored in the memory, constrain the modulated data stream such that a synchronization state of the synchronized serialized code stream generated by the encoder is determinable based on the synchronized serialized code stream.
