Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a transmitter capable of transmitting digital data, an interface connected to the transmitter, the interface having at least one data line for receiving and transmitting the digital data from the transmitter, and a clock line for transmitting a clock signal, a clock circuit for supplying, to the clock line, the clock signal alternating between two signal levels at a predetermined frequency, the two signal levels effecting a low swing to mitigate the generation of electromagnetic interference EMI, thereby providing timing information, a receiver connected to the interface so as to receive, from the interface, the digital data transmitted on the data line, and so as to receive the clock signal on the clock line, characterized in that the receiver regenerates an internal clock signal derived from the received clock signal and the receiver uses the clock signal received from the clock line for deriving the timing information for processing the received digital data.
