ABSTRACT:
Methods, devices and systems are provided for bit synchronizing multiple serial bitstreams (106) with a common clock signal (116). Activity occurring in each bitstream is detected (304) for each of a plurality of phases corresponding to cycles of the common clock signal. One of the plurality of phases is selected (308) for each of the serial bitstreams based upon the activity detected within the selected phase. Data is then extracted (322) from the selected phase for each of the serial bitstreams using the common clock signal to thereby bit synchronize each of the plurality of serial bitstreams to each other.
