ABSTRACT:
A orderwire detector circuit operates to identify whether an orderwire signal is of a digital or of an analog format. The orderwire signal is conveniently combined with a high speed data signal. The circuit operates to filter the high speed data signal from the orderwire signal and then square and retime the orderwire signal by means of a stable clock source. The orderwire signal is delayed by one bit and these bits are then compared to determine whether or not over a long period a certain voltage exists. If the proper voltage level exists after a plurality of samples, then it is assumed that the orderwire signal is a digital signal. Depending on the voltage detected, at the end of a predetermined sampling period, one can therefore discriminate between a signal orderwire signal or a analog orderwire signal.
