High-speed serial data communication system

摘要

A serial communication system transfers respective first and second signals via respective parallel signal carriers from a transmitter circuit to a receiver circuit. In synchronization with a clock signal (150), the transmitter circuit (110) serially represents a combination of the clock signal and data bit(s) (160) of a data message as the first and second signals (130, 140). At a data bit boundary, the transmitter circuit effects a transition of the first signal (130) if the data bit to be transmitted has a first value and effects a transition of the second signal (140) if the data bit has a different second value. The receiver circuit (120) recovers the clock signal by detecting and combining signal transitions of the first and second signal, for instance using an XOR function, and recovers the data message from the first and/or the second signal.
