Abstract
An interface between a high speed data signal input and multiple lower speed data signal outputs is described. In one preferred embodiment, the interface comprises a receiver core for separating the high speed data signal into multiple independent channels with each channel having a different priority; an Interface Logic Unit comprising multiple interface logic subunits each for processing one of the multiple independent channels. Each of the interface logic subunits includes a separator for separating the individual channel into multiple intermediate signals; and feedback device for providing feedback to the receiver core regarding a condition of one or more of the multiple intermediate signals. The interface further includes multiple multiplexer with each receiving one of the multiple intermediate signals and multiplexing the received intermediate signals to create one of the multiple lower speed data signals.
