Abstract
A method of transferring data between a first electrical component ( ) and a second electrical component ( ), which are both coupled to a common oscillator ( ) that oscillates at a first frequency, the first electrical component ( ) generating a first bit stream having a second frequency that is a fraction of the first frequency and having a first number of bits, generating an indicator signal having a third frequency that is a fraction of the first frequency and that is indicative of a type of data represented by the first bit stream, and coupling the first bit stream and the indicator signal to the second electrical component. The second electrical component ( ) sampling the first bit stream and the indicator signal at a fourth frequency that is substantially identical to the second frequency, thereby recovering the first bit stream generated by the first electrical component ( ) and determining the type of data contained in the first bit stream.
