Identifying a pattern in a data stream
First Claim
1. A system for at least one of identifying or localizing a serial data stream in a deserialized output, wherein the serial data stream is applied to an input port of a multiplexing device and the deserialized output is provided at a plurality of n output ports of the multiplexing device, the system comprising:
- pattern recognition units coupled to each one of the plurality of n output ports and being adapted for recognizing a deserialized identifier pattern corresponding to an identifier pattern within the serial data stream and for detecting a phase of the deserialized identifier pattern in the deserialized output; and
phase shifting units coupled to each one of the plurality of n output ports and being adapted for shifting the phase of the output of each respective port in correspondence with the detected phase of the deserialized identifier pattern.

Abstract
For identifying or localizing a serial data stream in a deserialized output provided at a plurality of n output ports (PORT1-PORT5), a pattern recognition is provided at each one of the plurality of n output ports (PORT1-PORT5) for recognizing a deserialized identifier pattern corresponding to an identifier pattern within the serial data stream and for detecting a phase of the deserialized identifier pattern in the deserialized output. The phase of the output of each respective port (PORT1-PORT5) is then shifted in correspondence with the detected phase of the deserialized identifier pattern.
