Abstract
A receiver circuit for coupling to a serial link is disclosed. The receiver circuit comprises a data buffer and serial interface circuitry. The serial interface circuitry receives serialized packet words and processes the serial words for input to the data buffer. The serial interface circuitry includes word detection logic to detect predefined control words and discard logic to selectively inhibit forwarding of one or more of the predefined control words to the data buffer.
