Abstract
A circuit and a method for aligning transmitted data by adjusting transmission timing for a plurality of lanes. The method includes utilizing different initial values to reset a count value corresponding to a lane when a plurality of COM symbols are detected on the lane, utilizing an increment value to increase the count value corresponding to the lane when a COM symbol is not detected on the lane, and utilizing a plurality of count values corresponding to the lanes to align transmitted data of the lanes when a COM symbol is not detected on the lanes within a predetermined period of time.
