Slave node e.g. audio signal coder/decoder, synchronization device for pulse code modulation type bus of digital audio system in e.g. personal digital assistant, has application unit generating synchronization signal on output of device

摘要

The device (400) has a delay application unit (403) for application of predetermined delay to a synchronization signal (PCM-SYNC) received on an activation input (E1) of a slave node to be synchronized. The application unit generates another synchronization signal (PCM-SYNC') on an output (S1) of the device connected to the activation input of the slave node, where the delay possesses duration based on a position of time interval associated with the slave node to be synchronized in a data transmission cycle. An independent claim is also included for an electronic system comprising a master node connected to a communication bus.
