Patent number: 5987083Abstract: A signal transmission apparatus is provided which increases the transmission rate of data received/transmitted between LSIs of the apparatus which are operated by the same reference clock. An internal clock in a first LSI is output on a clock line from a circuit based on the timing by which data is output on a signal line from the LSI. The output, internal clock is received by a circuit in a second LSI and the data on the signal line is taken in a flip-flop by the received clock. By use of a circuit which takes data therein based on arbitrary timing and from which the data can be taken out based on an arbitrary timing, the phase difference between the received, internal clock and an internal clock in the second LSI is eliminated at the output of the flip-flop.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1996Date of Patent: November 16, 1999Assignee: Advantest CorporationInventors: Shigeru Matsushita, Kazuo Takano
