摘要： A client interface supporting a plurality of peripheral channels and a network channel. The peripheral channels include a maintenance channel, message input channel, message output channel, express channel and several DMA channels. The client interface routes packets from the network to the peripheral resources and prioritizes the dispatching of packets onto the network. Express packets and message packets are given priority over DMA type packets. Priority to dispatch is rotated among the DMA channels.

摘要： The present invention is directed toward a communications channel comprising a link level protocol, a driver, a receiver, and a canceller/equalizer. The link level protocol provides logic for DC-free signal encoding and recovery as well as supporting many features including CRC error detection and message resend to accommodate infrequent bit errors across the medium. The canceller/equalizer provides equalization for destabilized data signals and also provides simultaneous bi-directional data transfer. The receiver provides bit deskewing by removing synchronization error, or skewing, between data signals. The driver provides impedance controlling by monitoring the characteristics of the communications medium, like voltage or temperature, and providing a matching output impedance in the signal driver so that fewer distortions occur while the data travels across the communications medium.
