Abstract:
Method and apparatus for reducing latency in a networking application comprises receiving data at a physical coding sublayer (PCS) from a media access control (MAC) sublayer, wherein the MAC sublayer utilizes a first clock domain operating at a first clock frequency. The method further comprises performing one or more functions in the PCS on the data in the first clock domain. The method also includes transmitting the data on one or more physical medium attachment (PMA) lanes, wherein the one or more PMA lanes utilize a second clock domain operating at a second clock frequency, wherein the first clock frequency and the second clock frequency have a fixed ratio. The method also comprises performing one or more functions in the PCS on the data in the second clock domain.

A communication system includes a receiver for decoding data having three states of −1, 0, and 1. The receiver includes a first input coupled to a first data line, a second input coupled to a second data line, and a third input coupled to a third data line. A first comparator is coupled to a first output, wherein the first comparator is for generating data signals in response to the sign of voltages on the first data line minus voltages on the second data line. A second comparator is coupled to a second output, wherein the second comparator is for generating clock signals in response to the sign of voltages on the third data line minus the average of voltages on the first and second data lines.

Abstract:
System, methods and apparatus are described that facilitate transmission of data over a multi-wire data communications link, particularly between two devices within an electronic apparatus. A sequence of data bits is converted into M transition numbers, which are then converted into a sequence of symbols. The sequence of symbols is transmitted received over N wires. A clock signal may be effectively embedded in the transmission of the sequence of symbols. Each of the sequence of symbols may be selected based on a corresponding one of the M transition numbers and a value of a preceding one of the sequence of symbols.
