Abstract
A computer system with a semi-differential bus-signaling scheme is described. The computer system includes a transmitter coupled to a common bus. The transmitter sends clock signals and a data signal to logic-comparing devices within a receiver. The logic-comparing devices compare the data signal to a reference voltage while comparing the clock signals to each other. After the comparison, the clock signals can be used to capture the data into a retiming circuit.
