  • System for maintaining synchronization between multiple asynchronous communication links
    Patent number: 7929575
    Abstract: An apparatus for maintaining synchronization with a plurality of asynchronous communication links includes a first counter that generates a first local network clock, and a second counter that generates a second local network clock. The apparatus also includes an offset controller coupled with the first counter and coupled with the second counter, the offset controller configured to load a current network clock value of a first network clock of a first communication link into the first counter, and to load a current network clock value of a second network clock of a second communication link into the second counter. The apparatus further includes a drift controller coupled with the first counter and with the second counter, the drift controller configured to correct a drift between the first local network clock and the first network clock and to correct a drift between the second local network clock and the second network clock.
    Type: Grant
