    摘要: A synchronous bus system includes a clock line having a forward direction clock segment and a reverse direction clock segment connected to each of a plurality of devices. The forward direction clock segment carries a forward direction clock signal, and the reverse direction clock segment carries a reverse direction clock signal. Synchronization clock circuitry, provided in each device, receives the forward direction clock signal and the reverse direction clock signal. Using the received clock signals, the synchronization clock circuitry derives a universal synchronization clock signal which is synchronous throughout all devices. Skew correction circuitry, provided in at least a portion of the devices, corrects for skew between the universal synchronization clock signal and one or more data signals for transferring data between devices.

    摘要: An I/O interface circuit includes an output buffer circuit and an input buffer circuit. The output buffer circuit can receive a first stream of data elements for output from the semiconductor chip, add a separate reference element for each data element in the first stream, and generate a first data transmission signal representing the data elements of the first stream and the respective reference elements. The input buffer circuit can receive a second data transmission signal representing data elements of a second stream and respective reference elements for the data elements of the second stream, sample the second data transmission signal to obtain voltage values for each data element of the second stream and the respective reference element, and interpret the voltage value for each data element of the second stream against the voltage value for the respective reference element in order to recover the data elements of the second stream.
