ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to an input-output multiplexer demultiplexer communication channel which transfers data between a communications controller and a multiplicity of radially attached communications ports. Self-clocking serial bit-synchronous data is transferred on two opposing unidirectional data links between the communications controller and the communications channel. Serial bit-synchronous data is transferred between the communications channel and the communications ports. The communications channel uses one-bit-time response round-robin polling when the communications channel initiates transmissions from the communications ports. Data transmissions from the communications controller are multiplexed on-the-fly in the communications channel to one of the communications ports.
