  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SENDING DATA
    Publication number: 20070067540
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for sending data. One exemplary embodiment may be a method comprising sending a data rate synchronization pulse from drive controller in a computer system to a storage device controller, calculating a bit transfer period by the storage device controller based on the time duration of the data rate synchronization pulse, serially driving a plurality of bits from the drive controller at a rate based on the bit transfer period, and sampling at the rate based on the bit transfer period to receive the plurality of bits by the storage device controller.
    Type: Application
