Title:
METHOD AND STRUCTURE FOR SYNCHRONIZING SIGNAL
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3945874
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To synchronize a serial data signal with a clock signal and to transmit serial data with a single channel at a high speed.
SOLUTION: Serial data is synchronized with a clock signal in a synchronizing circuit 10. Synchronization is accomplished by generating plural delayed things of the serial data signal by using delaying elements 21 to 27 which are serially connected. A delayed serial data signal is sampled by using a set of flip-flops 11 to 18. A sampled and delayed data signal which appears at an output of each flip-flop of a set of flip-flops 11 to 18 is used to decide which delayed data signal aligns the closest to a clock signal. An output of a multiplexer 40 is an alignment serial data signal. Further, a drift correcting circuit always monitors and corrects an alignment between the clock signal and the alignment serial data signal.
