Arrangement for synchronizing a byte clock derived from a data bit stream with a byte-oriented processing clock of a terminal equipment

摘要

In a terminal equipment connected to a packet-oriented, ring-shaped network, a comparator identifies the beginning and the presence of a start of packet information after a series-to-parallel conversion of the data bit stream, whereby filler information are transmitted between the packets. With the recognition of the beginning of the start of packet information, a counter arranged in a byte clock generator is arrested and is reset given the presence of the complete start of packet information so that an internal, current byte clock pulse is lengthened and, therefore, the packet byte clock is synchronized with the byte clock inherent in the terminal equipment.
