Apparatuses for transmitting and receiving data

Abstract

An apparatus for transmitting data comprises a clock signal generator generating clock signals; and a transmitter generating transmitting signals having same sized and shaped differential signals, i.e., the clock signals and data signals, subsequent to a strobe signal having common components different from those of the data signals. Accordingly, even though the distortion occurs in the strobe signal during transmission, the clock signal and the data signal can easily be recovered within a give action margin, and timing skew error variation between the clock signal and the data signal can be minimized by noise occurring in the transmission path, whereby the data signal can be transmitted at a higher frequency. Since the clock signal is recovered using the strobe signal, an area occupied by a circuit built in the apparatus for receiving data and used for recovery of the clock signal can be reduced.
