Abstract:
1. A daisy chain communication system, comprising: a first device configured to provide a first data signal for transmission; a first transceiver coupled to the first device, the first transceiver configured to transmit a first amplitude modulated signal having edges corresponding to edges of a clock signal and amplitudes corresponding to a digital value of the first data signal, the first transceiver having a first and second port coupled to a first communication medium; a second transceiver having a third and fourth port coupled to the first communication medium, the second transceiver including a decoder configured to extract the clock signal and resolve the first data signal from the first amplitude modulated signal; a second device coupled to the second transceiver and configured to receive the first data signal from the second transceiver and to provide a second data signal for transmission; a third transceiver coupled to the second device, the third transceiver configured to transmit a second amplitude modulated signal having edges corresponding to edges of the clock signal and amplitudes corresponding to a digital value of the second data signal, the third transceiver having a fifth and sixth port coupled to a second communication medium; a fourth transceiver having a seventh and eighth port coupled to the second communication medium, the fourth transceiver including a decoder configured to extract the clock signal and resolve the second data signal from the second amplitude modulated signal; and a third device coupled to the fourth transceiver and configured to receive the second data signal from the fourth transceiver.
