Abstract

Devices and methods for error checking transmissions include using error checking circuitry configured to receive a clock and reset. The error checking circuitry (ECC) includes an input counter configured to receive the clock and to count out multiple input clocks from the received clock. The ECC also includes a delay model configured to receive the clock and to output a delayed clock. Also, the ECC includes an output counter configured to receive the delayed clock and to count out multiple output clocks from the received delayed clock. Furthermore, the ECC includes multiple error calculation circuits arranged in parallel that each are configured to: receive data based on a respective input clock, generate an error indicator based on the received data with the error indicator indicating whether an error exists in the received data, and output the error indicator based at least in part on a respective output clock.
