Abstract
A communication link is synchronized by a network interface having a transmitter in a core clock domain different from the link clock domain of the communication link. A link synchronization state machine controls the link synchronization process. The functionality of the link synchronization state machine is partitioned so that some of the functions of the link synchronization process are performed by the transmitter in the core clock domain.
