Abstract
A system and method for converting data between a multi-bit time division multiplexed (TDM) bus and a faster single-bit TDM bus, wherein each TDM bus communicates data by means of frames, each frame comprising a fixed number of slots and each slot comprising a fixed number of bits, the system comprising digital circuitry for establishing a clock rate R.sub.SB for the faster single-bit TDM bus that has the following relationship to a clock rate R.sub.MB for the multi-bit TDM bus: R.sub.SB =R.sub.MB *((slots per frame)*(bits per slot)+1).div.(slots per frame).
