Abstract
A digital data communications mechanism includes multiple parallel lines, in which components of one or more lines are temporarily powered down to save power. Preferably, both the transmitter and receiver contain respective generators generating identical pre-determined pseudo-random bit streams, which are initially synchronized and which remain powered up when the line is temporarily powered down. Upon re-powering the line, the transmitter transmits the locally generated bit stream, and the receiver compares the received bit stream with its internally generated bit stream to determine an amount of shift required for re-synchronization.
