Apparatus and method for transmitting data

摘要

A data transmitting apparatus and method minimizes the electromagnetic interference (EMI) when transmitting parallel data via transmission lines. A controller receives data inputs synchronized to an input clock signal. The controller frequency-divides the input clock signal by a desired number, and separates the data into a plurality of separated data in such a manner to that one group of separated data has a phase difference relative to another group of separated data and is synchronized to the frequency-divided clock signal. Drive circuits receive the separated groups of data and sample the data at a falling edge or a rising edge of the frequency-divided clock signal such that sampling of one group occurs at different times than sampling of another group.
