Fast Path
FEC Correction
There are two latency paths that may be used: fast
and interleaved. For either path, a forward error
correction (FEC) scheme is employed to ensure
higher data integrity. For maximum noise
immunity, an interleaver may be used to
supplement FEC.
Interleaved Path
FEC Correction
An interleaver is basically a buffer used to introduce
a delay, allowing for additional error correction
techniques to handle noise. Interleaving slows the
data flow and may not be optimal for real-time
signals such as video transmission.
Fast Path CRC

errors.
Interleaved Path
CRC Error

Redundancy Check errors.
