Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to disc drives. More specifically, the present invention relates to a configuration for a channel-to-controller interface in the disc drive. Embodiments of the present invention illustrate various configurations of a channel-to-controller interface. In one embodiment, width of symbols crossing the interface is fixed, as is the clock rate. In other embodiments, the symbol width is variable, and the clock rate is also varied based upon the size of the interface symbol width and the operation of the channel.
