Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

System, methods and apparatus are described that facilitate transmission of data over a multi-wire data communications link, particularly between two devices within an electronic apparatus. Each symbol in a sequence of symbols received from a plurality of signal wires is received in an odd transmission interval or an even transmission interval. A first clock signal is generated from transitions in signaling state of the wires occurring between each odd transmission interval and a consecutive even transmission interval. A second clock signal is generated from transitions in signaling state of the plurality of wires occurring between each even transmission interval and a consecutive odd transmission interval. The first and second clock signals are used to capture symbols received in even and odd transmission intervals, respectively.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of data communications, comprising: receiving a sequence of symbols from a plurality of signal wires, wherein each symbol in the sequence of symbols is received during one of an odd transmission interval or an even transmission interval; generating a first clock signal from transitions in signaling state of the plurality of signal wires occurring between each odd transmission interval and a consecutive even transmission interval; generating a s…
