ABSTRACT:
A skip-free retiming system and method for transmission of digital information in a plesiochronous data communication system is described. The system is capable of supporting an unlimited number of retimers in serial data path between a first and a last node. The retimers are configured to retime, amplify and retransmit a received data stream without altering the received data rate. Thus, the data rate from the first node is received at the same frequency at the last node, regardless of the number of retimers. In general, the retimer performs rate compensation on a retimer local clock, rather than on the data stream, so the attributes of the clean retimer clock can be applied to the data stream without changing the data rate.
