Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems related to an apparatus implementing a geardown mode in a parallel pipeline configuration. The apparatus can include mechanisms to manage signal timing across multiple data processing pipelines for different communication speeds. While operating in a geardown mode, the apparatus can capture a sync pulse in two or more data pipelines. The apparatus can identify the pipeline that first captured the sync pulse and suppress the operation of the other pipelines.
