A data source circuit and a complementary data recovery circuit which can transmit and receive data at a higher rate than a conventional data source circuit which uses similar fabrication technology. A data source circuit of the present invention has an input for receiving a periodic source clock signal having a period T; a synchronization signal generator for generating, based on said downstream-clock signal, a series of one or more periodic synchronization signals having periods substantially equal to T, each synchronization signal being delayed from a previous synchronization signal; and a transmitter for transmitting one or more sub-words of a multi-bit data word, each sub-word having one or more bits, separate ones of said one or more sub-words being transmitted responsive to separate progressively delayed combined pairs of said synchronization signals. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention particularly suited for use in a point to point (e.g. a ring-type) data network, a recovery circuit and a source circuit are integrated as a receiver/retransmission node.

An optical communications device is disclosed which is equipped with a transmission unit adapted to send binary-coded electrical pulse signals to another optical communications device in the form of optical pulse signals. The transmission unit includes a modulator for producing an electrical pulse signal of a narrow pulse width only at each of rising and falling edges in the binary-coded electrical pulse signals and an electro-optic converter for converting the electrical pulse signal of a narrow pulse width into an optical pulse signal of a narrow pulse signal. As an alternative, the transmission unit includes a modulator which produces an electrical pulse signal of a narrow pulse width for each bit in the binary-coded electrical pulse signals only when it is at a high level and an electro-optic converter which converts the electrical pulse signal of a narrow pulse width into an optical pulse signal of a narrow pulse width.

A two-level alternate mark inversion signal transmission system wherein binary pulses of "1" and "0" levels are converted into a pulse signal in which one coded information value has its polarity inverted at a period T and the other has its polarity reversed at a period T/2, and the converted signal is transmitted. In order to facilitate an automatic gain control operation and the proper and reliable extraction of a timing signal on the receiving side of the system even when the zero binary pulses have successively arisen in the signal processed on the transmitting side, the alternate mark inversion signal is converted into a specified code (zero substitution) signal when the zero binary pulses have succeeded one another for a predetermined number of times, while on the receiving side, a received signal is subjected to duobinary shaping, whereupon the zero substitution part is detected for removal by utilizing the rules of the zero substitution process and the alternate mark inversion signal.

This invention relates to a real time clock recovery circuit. The clock recovery circuit requires three inputs, a bit serial data received input (BSD), a quarter bit delayed (QBT) and a three quarter bit delayed (TQBT) signal. The three inputs are derived from a single raw input that becomes the received input (BSD) signal. QBT and TQBT are delay line versions of the BSD signal. The three inputs (BSD, QBT and TQBT, and the complement of these signals) are ANDed together to detect low frequencies. The generated signal indicative of the low frequency, QBT and TQBT generate a recovered clock by state sequencing of an R-S latch. The type of bit serial data stream which may be inputted to the circuit of the present invention is double frequency encoded data streams, including Manchester or diphase encoded.

An apparatus and method for monitoring the received pulses of a transmitted pulse code modulation signal to determine if the received pulses lie within a predetermined pulse distortion tolerance zone is disclosed. The received pulses are monitored to determine the number of received pulse edges which are received during first and second consecutive predetermined time zones, the total period of the time zones being equal to the period of the pulse pattern of the received message which would occur in the case of distortionless transmission. The first time zone extends around the position where the pulse edge of the received pulses would be in the case of distortionless transmission. An error recognition signal is generated when either more than one of the received pulse edges arrives during the first time zone or only one of the received pulse edges arrives during the second time zone.

摘要:
A method is disclosed wherein information can be conveyed serially over a signal path in a rate-independent fashion. Three or more signal states are employed for conveying information. The disclosed method consists of attaching meanings to changes of signalling state rather than the length of time that a state is maintained. It is only required that the data source and data sink establish meanings for each change of state and that each transmitted state be maintained long enough for the receiver to detect it.

A processor substation for a communication system includes interrupt circuitry for transmitting coded communications as logic levels, rather than fixed length bits, so that communications can be handled at various code speeds and bit lengths. A message to be received by a subscriber is processed by an interrupt means in the substation to change the signal level to the subscriber whenever a transition occurs in the message (e.g. 1 to 0, and vice versa).
摘要:
In transmitting a digital signal, e.g. a digital signal on a PCM transmission line which is asynchronous with a clock signal, a first and a second state pulse trains respectively corresponding to one of the binary states of the digital signal are utilized and the output pulse trains of the asynchronous digital signal are represented by corresponding mode pulse trains in respective time slots. When the state of the pulse train of the asynchronous digital signal changes an indicating pulse representing the time of transition of the state of the asynchronous digital signal is inserted in a time slot following the time slot in which the state has changed. On the receiving terminal the mode pulse trains are constructed by utilizing the framing pulse as the reference signal.
