Abstract

A system and method for frame detection and generation. Each incoming clock-data stream is divided into two independent data streams: a clock path which preserves the timing of the individual clock domains and a data path which multiplexes an arbitrary number of data streams onto a parallel path. A framer array structure implements a context swap and synchronizes the data streams.
