Abstract

In order to accomplish the object of the present invention there is provided a network independent clocking (NIC) circuit which allows a local synchronous master to exchange data with a local data adpater. The NIC circuit includes a phase measuring block for continually generating a local phase difference indicator, where the local phase difference indicator indicates a phase relation between the local data adapter and the local synchronous master. The local phase difference indicator is transmitted to a remote data adapter. Back locally, a phase difference indicator is received from a remote data adapter. A baud clock is generated and used to transfer data from the data adapter to the synchronous master, the baud clock generator uses the phase difference indicator to recreate the phase difference between the remote data adaper and the remote synchronous master.
