Abstract
On the basis of single-ended signals based on logic levels, and of differential, in particular common-mode-based, signals, a circuit arrangement and a corresponding method are proposed, in which a serialized signal transmission is always performed in an error-free and stable manner.
Claims15
A circuit arrangement for transmitting both
- single-ended logic-level-based data signals and clock signals, and
- differential data signals and clock signals,
- in the form of at least one serialised common signal stream between at least one transmission arrangement assignable to at least one data source and at least one receiving arrangement assignable to at least one data sink, wherein upon or immediately after reaching a state of synchronisation between the transmission arrangement and the receiving arrangement at least one initialisation sequence can be inserted into the common signal stream.
