Abstract
A high speed board-to-board data transfer system capable of data transfer over single ended ribbon cable between a slave device and a master device. A slave device comprises a plurality of drivers generating clock signals at above 40 MHz connected to cable connector pins by a trace line through a series termination resistor. A master device comprises a plurality of receivers corresponding to the drivers connected to cable connector pins through a trace line. The ribbon cable is a single-ended ribbon cable using a ground-signal-ground configuration. The drivers, trace lines, resistors, cables, and receivers are chosen to provide reliable data transfer above 40 MHz, preferably between 40 MHz and 80 MHz. Preferred master and slave devices comprise VESA VIP 2.0 masters and slaves transmitting high quality video.
