Abstract

A method of error mitigation for transferring packets over a chip-to-chip data interconnect using a high speed interconnect protocol, the method including grouping a pre-selected number of high speed interconnect protocol words to form a protection frame, adding at least one additional error protection bit to each word in the group, adding a synchronization bit to each word, using the synchronization bit in a first word in each frame for synchronization of the protection frame and detecting and correcting a single bit error in the protection frame using the additional error protection bits, thereby reducing packet drop when the frames are transferred over the high speed data interconnect.
