Abstract
A data transmission system includes an oscillator which generates an ongoing sequence of clock signals, each of which defines a respective time period. Several interface circuits including first and second interface circuits are connected to the oscillator by a clock channel adapted to carry the clock signals from the oscillator to the interface circuits and a data channel adapted to carry data signals between the interface circuits. The first interface circuit places the first data signal on the data channel during the time period corresponding to a preselected one of the clock signals in each set, and the second interface circuit reads the first data signal from the data channel during this preselected time period. In this way, the first data signal is transmitted directly from the first to the second interface circuit via the data channel.
