Synchronous communication system having multiplexed information transferand transition phases

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A communication system segment having phase multiplexing. A first communication station contains a data source which sequentially outputs a series of data signals during a series of clock periods. The data source outputs one data signal from the series during each clock period. The first communication station also contains a transition buffer which has an input connected to the output of the data source. The transition buffer has a first-in first-out, mode in which the transition buffer stores a series of Q data signals output from the data source during the most recent Q clock periods, where Q is an integer greater than zero. A second communication station contains a data receiver which …
