Abstract
A demultiplexer (10) includes an input stage (12) that receives a serial data stream having a plurality of m-bit sections at a first clock rate. The input stage converts successive n-bit portions of each m-bit section into a first n-bit parallel output at a second clock rate. An intermediary stage (14) receives the first n-bit parallel output and generates a second n-bit parallel output at the second clock rate. The first n-bit parallel output corresponds to a different portion of an m-bit section than the second n-bit parallel output. An output stage (16) receives the first n-bit parallel output from the input stage (12) and the second n-bit parallel output from the intermediary stage (14). The output stage (10) places the first n-bit parallel output onto an output bus (36) having a width of m-bitlines at an earlier instance in time than the placement of the second n-bit parallel output.
