Abstract
A method for word synchronization can be applied to asynchronous devices including SERDES devices connected across serial lines. A state transition methodology characterizes the state of the device based on control characters received consistently across the serial lines and channels the system to a state of word synchronization. Loss of synchronization and transmission errors lead to a re-establishment of synchronization.
