Abstract
Data transfer scheme wherein data transfer rates can be effectively doubled with no increase in the clock speed of the interface. This is accomplished by allowing more than one data transfer to occur on a single clock cycle. This transfer scheme increases the transfer rate of the interface by multiplexing two data groups on the same interface. These data groups are transmitted from a source phase latch at approximately the same time as two strobe signals which have low skew with respect to the data. The master and slave strobe signals are logically combined to create an even latch enable signal and an odd latch enable signal that are used to latch and de-multiplex the multiplexed data groups at a receiving end of a pair of flow-though source synchronous latches.
