Abstract
A device for decoding a Miller-encoded message in the form of binary data at a clock frequency F. The decoder comprises: a transition detector which provides a very short pulse at each transition in the encoded message; first means controlled by a local clock at frequency F to pass only those short pulses which have the same phase; second means for stretching the short pulses passed by the first means to a duration of (1/2F); a local clock phase lock loop acting on a voltage-controlled oscillator of the local clock and responsive to the output signal of the second means; and a flip-flop to sample the output of the second means under the control of the local clock.
