Abstract
A multiple time domain serial-to-parallel converter includes a combiner operable to receive a stream of serial data within a first time domain and to accumulate a portion of the serial data into a set of parallel data. A first hold register is coupled to the combiner. The first hold register is configured to operate within the first time domain and operable to load the set of parallel data in response to a first load signal based on the first time domain. A second hold register is coupled to the first hold register. The second hold register is configured to operate within a second time domain and operable to load the set of parallel data from the first hold register in response to a second load signal based on the second time domain.
