Abstract
A physical layer device includes a deserializer that deserializes one of first and second data streams. The first data stream includes successive N-bit sequences having one of all ones and all zeros. A converter oversamples the first data stream, identifies edge transitions in the first data stream to locate N adjacent bits that substantially align with the N-bit sequences, and samples at least one bit of the N adjacent bits.
