Abstract
A method and apparatus for transmitting data through a CMOS bus line includes a pulse generator to generate a pulse representing a data signal, and a decoder for receiving the pulse and an output port for delivering the detected signal to a receiving device.
Claims33
An apparatus comprising:
- a pulse generator to generate a pulse representing a data signal, the pulse generator having
- an input port for receiving the data signal,
- an output port to deliver the pulse through a CMOS bus line to a decoder,
- the decoder having
- an input port for receiving the pulse, and
- an output port for delivering a detected signal to a receiving device.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- receiving data signals each of which comprises a high or low signal that spans a period between rising and falling signal edges,
- converting each of the data signals into a pair of pulses that correspond to the signal edges of the data signal, all of the pulses for all of the data signals being either high or low pulses,
- applying the pulses to one end of a static bus, and at the other end of the static bus,
- recovering the data signals based on the pulses.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- an output port to deliver a pulse through a CMOS bus line to a decoder,
- the decoder having
- an input port for receiving the pulse, and
- an output port for delivering a detected signal to a receiving device.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- a pulse generator to generate a pulse representing a data signal, the pulse generator having
- an input port for receiving the data signal,
- an output port to deliver the pulse through a CMOS bus line.
29 The apparatus of claim 26 in which the pulse generator is configured to generate a negative-going pulse based on a rising or falling edge of the data signal.
