Abstract: A system and method for embedding at least one clock signal into bus lines that also carry data signals at other times to enable a high-speed bus is disclosed. Each bus line is used for carrying both clock and data information at different times. Data signals, which may be either encoded or not, are carried through a subset of the bus lines through a mapping scheme that maps the data information to the bus lines at each data transfer while the clock signals are carried in the remaining bus lines. Various mapping schemes are possible.

Abstract: A system and method for multiple-phase clock generation is disclosed. In one embodiment, a multiple-stage voltage controlled oscillator (“VCO”) transmits a plurality of clock phases to a clock divider circuit which produces the desired number of clock phase outputs. The clock divider circuit in this embodiment includes a state machine, e.g., a modified Johnson counter, that provides a plurality of divided down clock phases, each of which is connected to a separate modified shift register. Each modified shift register contains D-type flip-flops and each D-type flip-flop provides a separate clock phase output. In one embodiment the number of clock phase outputs of the multiple-phase clock is a function of the number of VCO clock phases times the number of desired states in the modified Johnson counter.
