Abstract
Disclosed is a shift register () comprising an input (), an output () and a plurality of register cells () serially connected between the input and the output, each register cell being connected to a neighboring cell via a node, wherein at least some of said nodes comprise a multiplexer () having an output coupled to the downstream register cell and a plurality of inputs, each of said plurality of inputs being coupled to a different upstream register cell such that different length sections of the shift register can be selectively bypassed, the shift register further comprising a set of parallel IO channels () facilitating conversion between interleaved and de-interleaved data, each of said channels being coupled to a different one of said nodes, the number of parallel IO channels being smaller than the total number of register cells in the shift register.
