Abstract
Two identical streams of multi-bit symbols are received by a pair of storage elements, each having multiple locations and first and second pointer counters respectively identifying the locations at which received symbols are stored and from which stored symbols are retrieved. The storage elements are synchronized by providing each with a SYNC symbol that, when detected, causes the pointer counters to be placed in a predetermined (reset) state on one transition of a SYNC clock signal, releasing the pointer counters at the same time on a following transition of the SYNC clock signal.
