Abstract
A deserializer is disclosed that incorporates a detection and feedback mechanism for ensuring that the deserializer samples a serialized stream of bits at advantageous times. Furthermore, a deserializer is disclosed that can operate at a frequency that is below the bit rate of the serialized stream of bits. The illustrative embodiment comprises: a first bi-stable storage device for receiving a first binary waveform and a first clock signal and for generating a second binary waveform based on the first binary waveform and on the first clock signal; a second bi-stable storage device for receiving the first binary waveform and a second clock signal and for generating a third binary waveform based on the first binary waveform and on the second clock signal; and unanimity logic for generating a fourth binary waveform based on a coincidence function of the second binary waveform and the third binary waveform.
