Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting data on an xDSL digital communications link between a digital controller and an analog codec located within a personal computer system, the method comprising the steps of: (a) generating a bit clock adapted for data transmission requirements of the xDSL digital communications link; and (b) communicating the data and operational and/or control information, embedded in a plurality of words, between the digital controller and analog codec at a rate corresponding to said bit clock, wherein each of the plurality of words includes a portion of the data and a portion of the operational and/or control information, and wherein said operational and/or control information embedded in each of said plurality of words is transmitted over a plurality of data lines during a first time period corresponding to a first number of bit clock periods, and the data embedded in each of said plurality of words is transmitted over said plurality of data lines during a second time period corresponding to a second number of bit clock periods; wherein the data and said operational and/or control information are multiplexed over said plurality of data lines.
