Abstract:
1. A system for communicating data in a network environment, comprising: a first master timing generator operable to generate a first frame reference signal; a second master timing generator operable to generate a second frame reference signal; a first data source operable to generate a first data source signal, a first frame source signal and a first clock source signal in response to a selected one of the first and second frame reference signals; a second data source operable to generate a second data source signal, a second frame source signal, and a second clock source signal in response to a selected one of the first and second frame reference signals; a timing recovery circuit operable to generate a recovered reference signal and a recovered clock signal in response to a selected one of the first and second frame reference signals; a phase aligner operable to store the first data source signal in response to the first frame source signal and the first clock source signal, the phase aligner operable to store the second data source signal in response to the second frame source signal and the second clock source signal, the phase aligner operable to align a phase of the first data source signal with a phase of the second data source signal in response to the recovered reference signal and the recovered clock signal.
