ABSTRACT:
The various embodiments of the invention provide an apparatus, system and method for data content deskewing among a plurality of data channels for data synchronization. The various embodiments determine whether a data alignment signal has been written, for each data channel of the plurality of data channels, such as a comma character. When a data alignment signal has been written in a data channel of the plurality of data channels, the embodiments determine a corresponding channel location of the data alignment signal for each data channel having the data alignment signal. When each data channel of the plurality of data channels has the data alignment signal, and when the data alignment signal is to be read on a next read cycle in at least one data channel, the various embodiments move a corresponding read pointer for each data channel of the plurality of data channels to the corresponding channel location of the data alignment signal. The data alignment signal is then read in all channels during the next read cycle, followed by subsequent reading of deskewed or otherwise synchronized data, such as for conversion of parallel data into serial data for subsequent data transmission.
