Interconnect with repeaters capable of becoming data buffers

Applications

• Integrated circuits.
• Interconnects with switching and routing, as well as off-chip interconnects.

Advantages

• Provides a long interconnect having a data circuit and a congestion circuit.
• Data transmission is not only fast but also very reliable.
• Multiple data signals can exist simultaneously in the long interconnect.
• Prevents unnecessary loss of data signals which are transmitted from the upstream end through the long interconnect during the latency period after the downstream end transmits a refusal to receive data signal.
