Abstract

A receiver portion of a multichannel communications link uses optical components to receive data in parallel. Further, the receiver portion of the link provides various functions, including clock recovery, clock-to-data alignment and deskewing. The clock-to-data alignment provides for a dynamically adjusted clock that is used to regulate the output flow of data from the receiver portion, either in parallel or in series.
