Abstract: A data capture technique for high speed signaling to allow for optimal sampling of an asynchronous data stream. This technique allows for extremely high data rates and does not require that a clock be sent with the data as is done in source synchronous systems. The present invention also provides a hardware mechanism for automatically adjusting transmission delays for optimal two-bit simultaneous bi-directional (SiBiDi) signaling.

Abstract: In the invention, it becomes possible to extract all clock information data processing data by simultaneously comparing first, second and third voltage levels to each data bit in clocked time increments wherein the magnitude of the increments is such that each binary data bit is in two of the three voltage levels and all data bits change each clock cycle, so that reconstructed signals of the binary information only may then be assembled based on a signal amplitude that is greater than a low threshold value that is less than the transition between the first and the second of the voltage levels and is less than a high threshold that is greater than the transition between the second and the third voltage levels. The reconstructed data signals are further shaped to be precise in timing, free of skewing and within the system clock.

Abstract: The invention teaches a technique for A C equilibration of the signaling levels and time of 1—>h and h—>1 transitions of CMOS drivers as received at CMOS receivers, so as to improve the rate at which data can be communicated between two CMOS devices. It permits minimization of a switching delay in Double Data Rate Dram memories.
