  • Patent number: 8914698
    Abstract: A method of implementing and manufacturing a cyclic redundancy check circuit for a multi-channel communication system. The method includes creating a generation expression that generates cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits that satisfies a cyclic redundancy check polynomial of a mono-channel serial communication system with respect to a first point in time, creating a generation expression with respect to points in time that are sequentially delayed as much as the number of multi-channels from the first point in time by applying each point in time to the generation expression, and embodying a circuit corresponding to the generation expression with respect to the most delayed point in time among the created generation expressions. The CRC circuit corresponding to the generation expression will have more modulo-2 adders (e.g., XOR gates) than the number of non-zero coefficients in the selected CRC polynomial.
