High speed digital data transmission by separately clocking and

Abstract

To exchange a digital data input stream, a transmitter sends the digital data input stream to a receiver, and the receiver sequentially divides the stream into different interleaved substreams and later combines the substreams to provide an output including the original digital data input stream. The original digital data input stream includes multiple subgroups of data, such as bytes. Each subgroup is stored in a selected buffer of the receiver. Buffers are selected in a predetermined order of rotation to store sequentially received subgroups. Thus, each buffer receives subgroups in a defined order. Later, each buffer outputs its stored subgroups in the same order as received. A data assembler assembles the subgroups output by the various buffers, reconstructing the original digital input stream.
