ABSTRACT:
An expandable repeater includes N repeater units connected to an integrator device in a star topology. Each of the N repeater units has an input/output ("I/O") port for exchanging clock, data, and status signals. The status signals indicate the data repetition status of the repeater unit to the integrator. The integrator has N I/O interfaces (where N is the number of repeater units to be combined by the integrator), each of which couples to a corresponding I/O port of a repeater unit. The integrator selectively executes the data and clock repetition, and provides a global network status signal in response to the status signals received from all of the repeater units connected to the integrator.
