Abstract: A method and apparatus for interfacing a parallel connection, the parallel connection transmitting high bit-rate signals for a short distance. The method comprises: receiving a synchronous N-bits input data flow at a first input frequency; inserting said input data flow into parallel packets having a given length; and outputting said packets having a given length at a second output frequency onto a M-wires parallel connection.
