A data aligner aligns a data segment having a granularity of less than a width of an internal data path. The data aligner aligns a fragment of data for alignment with a current segment or delay the fragment to combine with a next segment for alignment of data. A buffer receives the aligned data from the data aligner for interim storage and subsequent output onto an internal data path.
