An output of a first data register is coupled to an input of a second data register. The same periodic clock signal clocks both data registers. A controller monitors the clock signal, a first load signal and a read signal. The controller generates a guard band signal using the clock signal and the first load signal. The controller also generates a second guard band signal from the read signal and the clock signal. A second load signal, that is used to load the second data register, is created by performing a logical AND operation on the two guard band signals.

Method and apparatus for synchronous loading and out-of-phase unloading of data registers

A port isolator apparatus includes an optical isolator circuit that electrically isolates an input circuit from a high-speed output circuit. The input circuit uses a transistor to control the current flow of a data signal into the optical isolator. The optical isolator generates, from the data signal, an output signal that controls the high-speed output circuit in the regeneration of the output signal. The output signal is substantially similar to the input data signal. The input circuit and the optical isolator circuit are coupled to one power and ground circuit while the high-speed output circuit is coupled to a second power and ground circuit that is isolated from the first power and ground circuit.

High-speed isolated port

A circuit card that includes a single ground plane connectable to a chassis-ground and a logic device having a ground pin connected to the single ground plane. The connection between the ground pin and the single ground plane provides a direct path between the logic device and the chassis-ground. A power supply is connected to an input pin of the logic device for providing a logic voltage to the logic device. The power supply is connectable to a battery.
