Abstract

See full text

A method for converting serial data having a certain word size to parallel data, comprises the steps of: generating segments from the serial data using serially-connected stages, wherein the segments have a predetermined bit size; storing each of the segments into a selectively turned-on flip-flop of a final stage, wherein the final stage is serially connected to the stages, wherein the final stage has a plurality of flip-flops and each of the flip-flops has a bit size equaling to the bit size of the segments; and outputting the stored segments in parallel from the final stage.
