Abstract
A multi-lane transmitter and method of detecting a sync loss are provided. The method includes generating a high-speed clock signal and a sync reset signal synchronized to the high-speed clock signal. A sync loss pulse is generated based on the high-speed clock signal, and the sync loss pulse is provided to each of plural serializer circuits. Each serializer circuit generates a sampled sync loss signal by sampling the sync loss pulse in accordance with a parallel clock signal, and a Boolean value is assigned to the sampled sync loss signal and output. A logic block detects a sync loss when the sampled sync loss signal of any serializer circuit is out of sync from the sync loss pulse based on the Boolean value.
