Abstract

In one embodiment, an apparatus may include a de-serializer to convert serial data to parallel data, and a counter to provide an update signal based on a bit count of the serial data. The apparatus may further include a synchronizer to provide a synchronization signal when a target clock signal is synchronized with the update signal. The apparatus may further include an output unit to provide a validation indicator in response to the synchronization signal.
