APPARATUS, INCLUDING DELAY MEANS, FOR SAMPLING AND RECOVERING DATA RECORDED BY THE LE TRANSITION RECORDING TECHNIQUE

摘要

Data and clock bits are sampled by use of two delay means such as shift registers which are enabled at a clock rate which is set so that a first such delay means coupled to receive the bits includes no more than one bit therein at any time. The receipt of a bit substantially at the midway point of the second delay means, which is coupled serially to receive bits from the first delay means, causes a sampling signal to be generated in response to which a determination is made as to whether another bit has been received by the first delay means. Further logic is provided to recover the data bits.
