==Low-Speed Ring with Controlled Jitter - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240205054 titled 'Low-Speed Ring with Controlled Jitter

The patent application relates to communication links, computing systems, and methods for their use. An example embodiment includes a communication link with a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) driver.

* The LVDS driver provides a differential signal based on a digital bit stream.
* The digital bit stream consists of digital bits arranged temporally according to a nominal bit period.
* The communication link also includes a controllable delay device.
* The controllable delay device adjusts the timing of rising and falling edges of digital bits relative to the nominal bit period using a predetermined sequence of delay amounts.
* These delay amounts represent positive and negative differences in time from the nominal bit period.

Potential Applications:
- High-speed data transmission in computing systems
- Signal integrity in communication links
- Timing synchronization in electronic devices

Problems Solved:
- Ensuring accurate data transmission in high-speed communication links
- Minimizing signal distortion and interference

==Original Abstract Submitted==

example embodiments relate to communication links, computing systems, and methods for their use. an example embodiment includes a communication link. the communication link includes a low-voltage differential signaling (lvds) driver. the lvds driver is configured to provide a differential signal that is based on a digital bit stream. the digital bit stream includes a series of digital bits that are temporally arranged based on a nominal bit period. the communication link also includes a controllable delay device. the controllable delay device is configured to provide a delay signal to the lvds driver so as to cause a rising edge or a falling edge of respective digital bits to vary in time with respect to the nominal bit period based on a predetermined sequence of delay amounts. the delay amounts represent positive and negative differences in time from the nominal bit period.
