a consecutive identical digit (CID) detector configured to detect whether received data includes a CID exceeding a predetermined
threshold count;
a DC balance monitor configured to detect DC imbalances in the received data; and
a transition density detector configured to detect whether there exits minimum transition density in the received data during
a given time period.
wherein the data system forces an out of frame condition if the DC balance monitor detects DC imbalances greater than a second
predetermined threshold value.
