Abstract
Systems and techniques for serial data stream operations are described. A described system includes a serial bus communicatively coupled with a memory structure to handle a serial data stream from or to the memory structure; generators configured to generate enablement signals that are associated with different bit-groups of the serial data stream, each of the enablement signals including pulses that are aligned with time-slots that are associated with a respective bit-group; logic elements configured to store internal states and produce output signals that are based on the serial data stream, the enablement signals, and the internal states, and circuitry configured to capture values. Each of the enablement signals enables a respective logic element to selectively change a respective internal state responsive to bit-values of a respective bit-group. Each of the captured values represents an output of a respective logic element that is responsive to all bit-values of a respective bit-group.
