Abstract
To exchange data in the same position in the hybrid ring control cycles in two FDDI-II rings, the cycles of the different rings are phase and frequency aligned. To achieve phase alignment, a hybrid multiplexer in one of the rings monitors the cycles on the other ring and starts a cycle when the hybrid multiplexer detects a starting delimiter on the other ring. In order to achieve frequency alignment, 8 KHz references produced by two hybrid multiplexers on the two respective rings are provided to a circuit that selects one of the references to determine the frequency for synchronizing cycle outputs of both hybrid multiplexers.
