Patent ID: 7965804

Claim:
A system for synchronously transmitting in one direction digital words of a specific bit-length, comprising: a first digital device; a second digital device; a set of parallel conductors connecting the first digital device and the second digital device; a plurality of serializers in the first digital device, one coupled to each parallel conductor; a plurality of deserializers in the second digital device, one coupled to each parallel conductor; first software or firmware implemented at the first digital device; and second software or firmware implemented at the second digital device; wherein, prior to transmitting digital words of the specific bit length, the first software or firmware transmits to the second digital device an enabling idle sequence, including a first control word, simultaneously on each parallel conductor, enabling the second digital device to synchronously receive and deserialize words at the second digital device, and upon synchronization, the first software or firmware serially divides digital words to be transmitted to the second digital device into equal length portions, and transmits each portion separately but simultaneously on a dedicated one of the parallel conductors, the equal length portions received and deserialized back into the original digital word by the deserializers at the second digital device.
