Abstract:
A datalink system for transmitting data with minimal latency, comprising:a data transmission system which is composed of a parallel-to-serial converter which converts a parallel signal into a serial signal, a data transmission line which transmits the serial signal one way and a serial-to-parallel converter which converts the transmitted serial signal into the parallel signal; anda control signal transmission system which is composed of a control signal transmission line for generating a transmission control signal for transmission which lies in parallel with the data transmission system, said data transmission system including a delay equal to that of the control signal transmission system, wherein the control signal transmission line is provided with a delay line electrically connected before and/or after the control signal transmission line, and wherein the control signal transmits at least one of frame and parity information relating to said serial signal, and wherein:said data transmission line is of an optical fiber, and said control signal transmission line is of an electrical cable constructed to have a signal propagation velocity equal to that of said optical fiber.
