Abstract
A method synchronizes serial data stream output from a multiple-port system. The multiple-port system includes a plurality of port devices. The method includes (a) timing a serial data stream at each port device, the serial data stream including a series of data frames, (b) generating a framing signal at each port device, the framing signal indicating a boundary of the data frame in the serial data stream, (c) supplying the framing signal to a next port device, and (d) synchronizing, at each next port, the timing of the serial data stream in response to the supplied framing signal.
