Abstract
A technique for embedding a first clock phase within a second signal is described. In one embodiment, the invention comprises a method of embedding a phase of a first signal within a second signal comprising the steps of monitoring a first signal for a frame event, responsive to detection of a frame event in the first clock signal, determining a position of the frame event relative to a current segment of a second signal, and embedding in the current segment of the second signal a value representative of the relative position of the detected frame event.
