ABSTRACT:
A method to detect a normalized data field of all zeros or all ones includes receiving a control field and a data field, dividing the data field into segments, and performing detections on each segment. Each segment undergoes all zeros detection, all ones detection, modified zeros detection, and modified ones detection. The modified zeros detection and modified ones detection are both done based on the control field. Each detection for each segment generates a response. Then, a pair of the four responses, or a clear responses signal, is selected for each of the segments based on the control field. From the selected responses, the method determines if the normalized data field is all zeros or all ones.
