Abstract
A circuit for receiving and processing a bit stream obtained from an electronic communication bus-system comprises a bit stream processor and bit sampling of the bit stream to provide a sampled output signal. The circuit comprises a frame decoder for decoding a data frame encoded in the sampled output signal, and a clock signal generator for generating a first clock signal for the bit stream processor. The circuit comprises a clock signal downsampler for generating a second clock signal having a lower frequency than the first clock signal, in which the second clock signal is based on a co-occurrence of a clock pulse in the first clock signal and the emission of a bit in the sampled output signal. The bit stream processor is adapted for synchronizing the first clock signal to an external protocol timing of the incoming bit stream.
