Abstract
An enhanced input-output element has a self-timed interface (STI) in which a clock signal clocks bit serial data onto a parallel, electrically conductive bus and the clock signal is transmitted on a separate line of the bus. The received data on each line of the bus is individually phase aligned with the clock signal to provide a cost effective, modular, broadband, input/output element that can serve economically two channels and is modularly scalable to serve several hundred channels.
