Digital circuit arrangement for transmission of data signals e.g. for multiprocessor computer system, includes transmitting unit and receiving unit each with semiconductor chip

摘要

A digital circuit arrangement has at least one transmitting unit (101) with a first semiconductor chip (103) and a first conversion unit (105) for converting the electrical data signals into optical data signals. At least one receiving unit (102) is provided and has a second semiconductor chip (106) and a second conversion unit (107) for converting the optical data signals into electrical data signals and for outputting the electrical data signals to the second semiconductor chip. At least one transmission unit (108) is used for transmitting the optical data signals from the first conversion unit to the second conversion unit. An Independent claim is given for a method of transmission of data signals into a digital circuit arrangement.
