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 - Improving overall system performance and reliability
Benefits: - Enhanced data transfer speeds - Improved signal quality and reliability - Increased system efficiency and performance
Commercial Applications: Title: High-Speed Data Transmission Technology for Computing Systems This technology can be used in telecommunications, networking equipment, data centers, and other high-speed communication systems. It has the potential to improve data transfer speeds and signal integrity, leading to more efficient and reliable computing systems.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the controllable delay device in the communication link improve signal integrity? - The controllable delay device adjusts the timing of digital bits, ensuring accurate data transmission and minimizing signal distortion. 2. What are the key advantages of using LVDS drivers in communication links? - LVDS drivers provide a differential signal that is less susceptible to noise and interference, resulting in improved signal quality and reliability.
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.
