Subject: [oc] 12bit data in 16bit packets?

Hi all,

Does anyone have any good ideas on how to pack 12bit data in to 16bit packets so that the extra bandwith is not wasted sending zeroes?  I was thinking of using something like a four word FIFO and a barrel shifter.  For every four 12-bit words that are input, three 16bit words are output.  One clock is used up at the beginning to 'arm' the FIFO.

Are there any other techniques for this?

Thanks,
Jerrold.
