Abstract
An invention is provided for data bit align. The invention includes a multiplexer that receives a data sample word as data input and also receives a clock sample word as select input. The multiplexer selects a data bit from the data sample word based on the clock sample word. Generally, the multiplexer can select the data bit from the data sample word corresponding to a position of the clock edge in the clock sample word. The invention also includes an output register, which is coupled to the multiplexer. The output register stores the selected data bit from the multiplexer and provides the selected data bit to remaining system components.
