Abstract
A microprocessor control unit (MCU) is mounted on a printed circuit board. The MCU includes first and second clocked serial interface (CSI) circuits. The first CSI circuit is configured to serially transmit a first xCP packet to a first encoder circuit, which in turn is configured to generate an encoded first xCP packet as a function of the first xCP packet and a first clock signal. A first low voltage differential signal (LVDS) circuit is coupled to the first encoder circuit and configured to serially receive the encoded first xCP packet therefrom. The first LVDS circuit is configured to generate a first differential signal as a function of the encoded first xCP packet.
