OPTICAL DATA INTERFACE WITH ELECTRICAL FORWARDED CLOCK

OPTICAL DATA INTERFACE WITH ELECTRICAL FORWARDED CLOCK

Apparatuses and methods for an optical data interface with electrical forwarded clock are provided. One example optical data interface (220, 320) can include a transmitter (224, 324) having a data input (232, 332) and a clock input (242, 342), and a receiver (226, 326) having a data output (271, 339...

Zusammenfassung:Apparatuses and methods for an optical data interface with electrical forwarded clock are provided. One example optical data interface (220, 320) can include a transmitter (224, 324) having a data input (232, 332) and a clock input (242, 342), and a receiver (226, 326) having a data output (271, 339) and a forwarded clock signal path (254, 376). An optical communication path (248, 348) is coupled between the data input (232, 332) and the data output (271, 339) and configured to communicate a data signal. An electrical communication path (236, 336) is coupled between the clock input (242, 342) and the forwarded clock signal path (254, 376). The electrical communication path (236, 336) is arranged to forward a clock signal used by the receiver (226, 326) as a reference for the optical data signal.
