Abstract

Designs which require a phase relationship between two signals to be maintained along a link benefit from the use of repeaters which actively regenerate this relationship. This paper discusses some implementations of phaseregeneration circuits and attempts to introduce the reader to the issues encountered in the design of such circuitry. The paper proposes various design solutions for the dual-rail case, extending the work to the multiple-rail case. A novel device which is able to reconstruct a sequence of events is also presented, the Transition Sequence Encoder. Simulation results are provided with discussion on the relative performance.
