Abstract:
A method of implementing a digital communications link connecting a digital controller section of a broadband signal modem, located on a system motherboard of a computing system, to a separate analog section of the broadband signal modem, located at a position which is substantially free of electronic noise from other electronic components on said motherboard which could significantly affect the overall operation of such broadband signal modem, said method comprising the steps of:(a) providing a plurality of receive signal lines for communicating data from a remote broadband signal modem; (b) providing a plurality of transmit signal lines for communicating data to the remote broadband signal modem; (c) providing a bit clock signal line separate from said plurality of receive signal lines and said plurality of transmit signal lines for carrying a bit clock signal, which bit clock signal is used in connection with communicating said data to and from said remote broadband signal modem; (d) providing a frame signal to mark the boundary for a data frame received and/or transmitted on said plurality of receive signal lines and said plurality of transmit signal lines.
