Title:
SERIAL SELF-ADAPTABLE TRANSMISSION LINE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/109651
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A self-adaptable transmission line (SATL) (100) according to the present invention is implemented as a single signal path (100) coupled between an SATL transmitter (110) and an SATL receiver (120). The SATL transmitter (110) controls the process of transmission in an SATL architecture. Data to be sent by the SATL transmitter (110) are first encoded to the appropriate symbol before being serialized and transmitted on the SATL (100). A symbol transfer starts with an event known as a start-of-symbol (SOS) event, which can be, for example, a low-to-high transition. The SATL receiver (120) samples and deserializes the incoming bitstream, and then decodes the symbol thus received. Upon detection of an SOS by the SATL receiver, the SATL receiver’s logic is reset to its initial state, ready to receive the next symbol.
