Present researches of parallel frame synchronization schemes are mostly focused on one or another special application

and the conclusions lack general significance.Some new frame synchronization problems-such as 66B code synchronization in 10 gigabit ethernet-have their new characteristics.This paper proposes a new parallel frame synchronization scheme

namely MCSCI

which uses a method featured by continuity validation to perform searching of frame alignment word.When MCSCI is used in 66B code synchronization

optimal performance is acquired at the expense of smaller chip-area

compared with present schemes.Based on theoretical analysis and computer simulations

this paper studies the performances of proposed and present schemes under many suits of parameters

and the results show that MCSCI has broad usage.
