A receiver includes a receiver circuit to receive a pulse width modulated signal, which assumes a first signal level, a second signal level and an intermediate signal level between the first signal level and the second signal level. The receiver further includes a quantization circuit to determine a value encoded in the signal based on an intermediate time period between a first transition and an intermediate transition and based on a main time period between the first transition and a second transition. The first transition comprises the first signal level, wherein the intermediate transition includes the intermediate signal level. The second transition includes the second signal level.

A transition enforcing coding (TEC) receiver includes a delay line circuit, a transition detection circuit, a data sampling circuit, and a skew calibration circuit. The delay line circuit employs a calibrated delay setting to delay a plurality of vector signals to generate a plurality of delayed vector signals under a normal mode, respectively. The transition detection circuit detects a transition of at least one specific delayed vector signal among the delayed vector signals. The data sampling circuit samples the vector signals according to a sampling timing, wherein the sampling timing is determined based on an output of the transition detection circuit. The skew calibration circuit sets the calibrated delay setting under a calibration mode, wherein transition skew between different delayed vector signals is reduced by the calibrated delay setting under the normal mode.

A plurality of line interfaces is configured to receive a spread signal over the plurality of line interface. The spread signal carrying symbols with guaranteed symbol-to-symbol state transitions between consecutive symbols. The spread signal is defined by a plurality of transition signals including a first signal over a first line interface. A clock signal is extracted based on a comparison between a first instance of the first signal and a delayed second instance of the first signal. The delayed second instance of the first signal is sampled based on the clock signal to provide a symbol output. The clock extraction circuit is further adapted to generate the clock signal based on additional comparisons between a first instance of a second signal, within the plurality of transition signals, and a delayed second instance of the second signal, where the first and second signals are concurrent signals received over different line interfaces.

A video signal and an audio signal are TMDS transmitted from a source device to a sink device. Through a reserved line and a HPD line provided separately from a TMDS transmission line, an Ethernet™ signal is bidirectionally transmitted, and also, a SPDIF signal is transmitted from the sink device to the source device. The Ethernet™ signal bidirectionally transmitted between Ethernet™ transmitter/receiver circuits is differentially transmitted by an amplifier and is received by the amplifier. The SPDIF signal from a SPDIF transmitter circuit is common-mode transmitted from an adder and is received by the adder to be supplied to the SPDIF receiver circuit.

A data communication system includes a unit that receives edge-encoded data from a data link. The unit includes a counter, a data bit reader, and a phase-locked loop. The counter counts at a sampling frequency between a minimum value and an end-count value. The data bit reader is connected to receive the edge-encoded data. The data bit reader samples the edge-encoded data at the sampling frequency to detect data bits of the edge-encoded data. The phase-locked loop updates the end-count value if consecutive bits of the data bits are detected prior to an expected iteration of the counter. The phase-locked loop also updates the end-count value if consecutive bits of the data bits are detected later than the expected iteration of the first counter.
