BIT RATE MATCHING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A method and system of matching a bit rate to a transmit bit rate used to transmit data on a data link are disclosed. A bit pattern in data received on the data link is detected using a bit rate. Where the detected bit pattern comprises one of a plurality of expected bit patterns, the bit rate is adjusted to an adjusted bit rate based on the detected bit pattern. In one embodiment; the adjusted bit rate is used for communications on the data link when a confirmation bit pattern is received within a predetermined time after the data is received.
