Abstract
System and method for combining signals on a differential signal provided over a communication link. In one aspect, a system for providing a differential communication link includes a signal combination circuit that receives a data signal and a clock signal and outputs a modulated differential signal on a differential link, where the modulated differential signal includes a differential data signal having an offset modulated at a frequency of the clock signal. A receiving circuit receives the modulated differential signal and senses and recovers the data signal and the clock signal therefrom.
