Abstract
A bidirectional synchronous interface for the reception of a first flow of digital data with a first coding from a communication channel, and for the transmission on the communication channel of a second flow of digital data with the first coding in synchrony with a local timing signal. The interface includes a synchronization circuit for synchronizing the interface with the first flow of digital data that includes a first circuit fed by the local timing signal to generate, starting from the local timing signal, a plurality of repetition timing signals delayed from one another by fractions of a period, and a second circuit means fed by the first flow of digital data and by the plurality of repetition timing signals suitable for determining, from the plurality of repetition timing signals, a pre-selected repetition timing signal substantially in synchrony with the first flow of digital data.
