Abstract
A data formatter includes a shift register and a pointer manager. The shift register receives data from a providing RAM and shifts that data in response to reading data from the providing RAM and writing data to a receiving FIFO. A pointer manager maintains a pointer that points to a first valid byte in a sub-block of data into the correct bytes lanes of the FIFO by moving the pointer as data is shifted into and out of the shift register.
