Abstract
The present disclosure is generally directed to a method of communicating data between two or more semiconductor devices. Serial interfaces using the method have a reduction in latency compared to conventional serial interfaces. The method enables features needed for a serial interface, such as limited run lengths and recognizable data boundaries to establish alignment. In addition, a method for synchronizing two or more semiconductor devices through serial interfaces has been presented. This is done by passing a marker data pattern through the system.
