Abstract
The disclosed full duplex bit synchronous data rate buffer (15) adapts high speed burst data signals for transmission over low speed data facilities. The data rate buffer (15) includes a buffer control circuit (201-205, 105) for interactively controlling a first data buffer (101) for down-converting the high speed signals (107) to low speed signals (109) and a second data buffer (102) for up-converting low speed data signals (108) to high speed burst data signals (106). The data rate buffer (15) accepts random changes in the length of each high speed burst data signal without a loss in bit synchronism and adjusts for changes in the number of burst data signals contained in each frame.
