Abstract
A method and system are provided for determining a location of a predetermined N bit sequence in a data stream. The method comprises the steps of determining two N bit data words from consecutive bits of the data stream, and providing N, N bit comparators. A first N bits of the two N bit data words is compared with the predetermined N bit data sequence by a first of the N comparators, and a next N bits, starting at a second bit, of the two N bit data words are compared with the predetermined N bit sequence by a second of the N bit comparators. These comparisons are repeated, incrementing the starting bit, until N comparators have been employed and the first through N bits have been employed as the starting bit.
