ABSTRACT:
A system for tolerating communication lane failures includes a transmitter configured to transmit a segment of data, an error detecting code, and redundant information. The system also includes a receiver coupled to the transmitter via a communication link including a plurality of bit lanes. Each bit of the segment of data may be conveyed to the receiver serially via respective single-bit lanes. The segment of data, the redundant information, and the error detecting code may be accumulated within the receiver over a plurality of clock cycles. The receiver may detect an error in the segment of data using the error detecting code. In addition, the receiver may, in response to detecting the error, regenerate the segment of data using the redundant information. Further, the receiver may determine whether a resulting regenerated bit, along with remaining bits, of the segment of data are correct using the error detecting code.
