    • In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, precision control of error injection may be accomplished by way of synchronous error signals accompanying data transfers along various pipeline stages of a data path. The synchronous error signals may be used to trigger error events in a given protocol logic block (i.e. in a given sub-component of the data path). The protocol logic block is configurable to determine whether any action is to be taken upon the assertion of the error signal. Multiple error events may be triggered as the data signal (and its accompanying synchronous error signal) passes through pipelined functions of the data path so as to create complex error conditions. In addition, deterministic handling of created errors may be accomplished using a loopback path with bypassable blocks on both forward and reverse transformations. Other embodiments, aspects and features are also disclosed.

    • Techniques are provided for implementing channel alignment for a data transmission interface in an HIP block on a programmable logic integrated circuit. The HIP block channel alignment logic can be run using a reduced number of parallel data paths, which consumes substantially less logic resources. Also, the HIP block channel alignment logic circuits can be processed at the higher HIP core clock rate in serial, decreasing lock latency time. Techniques are provided for implementing error handling for transmitted data in programmable logic circuits. The programmable logic circuits can be configured to implement error generation and error monitoring functions that are tailored for any application. Alternatively, the logic elements can be configured to perform other functions for applications that do not require error handling. The phase skew between data and clock signals on an integrated circuit are reduced by routing clock signals along with the data signals to each circuit block.
