Abstract
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for synchronizing data in a number of separate integrated circuits. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a first integrated circuit configured to receive first data, and a second integrated circuit coupled to the first integrated circuit configured to receive second data. The second integrated circuit is separate from the first integrated circuit. The second integrated circuit is further configured to synchronize the second data with the first data. In another embodiment, the apparatus includes a first integrated circuit configured to receive first data, and a second integrated circuit coupled to the first integrated circuit configured to receive second data. The second integrated circuit is separate from the first integrated circuit. The second integrated circuit is further configured to detect when the second data is out of synchronization with the first data.
