Abstract
The disclosure relates to a data transmission interface for use in a first integrated circuit (IC) for encoding and sending a data packet from the first IC to a second IC via a data bus having four data wires, the data transmission interface arranged to generate four time-dependent binary signals which jointly encode the data packet in signal edges thereof, each of the signals being associated with a unique wire of the data bus and spanning a temporal cycle T within which are defined four consecutive time stamps T. . . Tat which edges can occur in the signals, the data transmission interface further arranged to transmit the signals to the second IC substantially in parallel on their respective data wires, wherein: irrespective of the data packet content, at each time stamp T. . . Tat least one of the four signals has an edge to enable clock recovery at the second IC.
