ABSTRACT:
A device, system and method for aligning data received on a plurality of data lanes in a data link are disclosed. One or more alignment vectors are generated for each of a plurality of data lanes where each alignment vector represents a location of an alignment character in an associated one of the data lanes. For each data lane, a plurality of alignment vectors may be associated with one or more alignment windows associated with the data lane. If the alignment vectors of the data lanes are associated with a common alignment window, an alignment position may be selected for each data lane.
