Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed which is adaptable for indicating communication failures and eliminating an undesired pattern of physical values of a generated signal, the signal having physical values responsive to a sequence of information. The apparatus includes a protocol sequencer, responsive to the sequence of information and to the communication failure indications, and providing RESET and RETRY control signals; a framing flag generator, responsive to the RESET signal and providing a variable length framing flag, the length of the framing flag being dependent on the RETRY signal; a multiplex switch, responsive to the RETRY and RESET signals for generating a concatenation of the framing flag and sequence of information; a whitener generator, responsive to the RESET signal, for providing a known sequence of values; and a multiplier, for multiplying said concatenation of said framing flag and the sequence of information with the known sequence of whitener values.
