Abstract

High speed serial data bits of a data stream are received, stored, shifted and compared in parallel to bit contents of a known correlation word. For each bit match a known signal change is provided on a common terminal. High speed current or voltage changes on the common terminal are proportional to the number of matching bits and are monitored to detect presence of the correlation word in the received data stream. The circuit has minimum number of components and built-in temperature compensation.
