20100241933 | Parallel Forward Error Correction with Syndrome Recalculation - A system and method are provided for parallel processing data that is forward error correction (FEC) protected with multiple codewords. The method accepts an electrical waveform representing a digital wrapper frame of interleaved FEC codewords. Typically, the codeword encoding is solved using an algorithm such as linear block codes, cyclical block codes, Hamming, Reed-Solomon, or Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH). The method calculates a first set of syndromes for a first codeword. In parallel with the calculation of the first set of syndromes, a second set of syndromes is calculated for a second codeword with a data component shared with the first codeword. Using the first set of syndromes, an error magnitude and location (EML) of the first codeword is performed. Using the second set of syndromes, an EML of the second codeword is performed in parallel with the EML of the first codeword. | 09-23-2010 |

Then, a timer channel can be used to perform programmable timer functions in response to the channel time base. Some programmable timer functions include input capture, output compare, quadrature decoding, pulse measurement, frequency measurement, and pulse width modulation (PWM) functions. In one aspect, accepting the external time signal at the external interface includes detecting a packet with a time value. In another aspect, the method uses the channel to detect an event at a channel external interface, and compares the channel time base counter value with an expected value to modify the synchronized time base. | 08-23-2012 |
