Abstract
A method and apparatus for accelerating detection of speed code signals, and in particular Ssignals, for IEEE Standard 1394-1995 serial bus devices. The present invention validates Smode immediately after detecting an Sspeed signal, or immediately after detecting an Sspeed signal following a first to Sspeed signal. The invention further provides Sand Smode validation according to current implementations. Additionally, the invention does not require RX_DATA_PREFIX as a pre-requisite for signal detection.
