Abstract
A transmission system is disclosed for transmitting asynchronous binary signals from a source to a selected utilization device without requiring a system clock common to the source and utilization device. The system includes apparatus for converting the asynchronous binary signals into complementary pairs for transmission to respective electronic devices. Each electronic device is capable of transmitting a complementary pair applied thereto to the utilization device while also being responsive to applied 1, 1 inputs from a strobe circuit to prevent transmission to the utilization device when such transmission is to be prevented. A presence detecting circuit responsive to the outputs of the electronic devices detects when all of the data bits have arrived and initiates operation of the utilization means in response thereto.
