Abstract
A signal communication apparatus comprising first and second channels for communicating signals between two electronic devices; each of said first and second channels has a transmitter for transmitting signals, a receiver for receiving signals and an interface arranged between the transmitter and the receiver. The transmitters code the signals in the form of a frame of H bits, with H being an integer, and adapted to serially transmit said frame of H bits through said interface, and the receivers decode the frames of H bits, a frame of H bits having P data bits, K redundancy bits and a sequence of L control bits adapted to identify the type of frame to be transmitted, with L, P and K being integers.
