    Abstract: In a communication system providing multiple access to transmission facilities for a plurality of stations (17, 21), two separate networks (11, 13) are provided: One is a token ring (11) on which access tokens and data are transmitted, the other is a high-speed optical fiber transmission ring (13) on which only large-volume data blocks are transmitted between particular stations (21) which are attached to both rings, but no access information. A token manager (27) in the token ring (11) provides at regular intervals particular tokens that are only used by the particular stations (21) for obtaining access to the high-speed ring (13), but also provides other tokens for regulating access to the token ring (11) for other stations (17). Special access modes (23) are provided which allow to connect the particular stations (21) to the high-speed ring (13) without extending its length.

    Abstract: A phase locked loop (PLL) arrangement comprising a local crystal oscillator (23) and a tapped delay chain (15) of analog delay elements (17). Connected to the delay chain taps are a flash register (25) consisting of latches which store the tap signal values at each data signal transition, and an output multiplexer (37) for selecting one of the tap signals as phase shifted output clock. Contents of the flash register are encoded by an encoder (33) which furnishes a value representing the phase offset between data signal and local clock signal. By a look-up table (41), the phase offset is converted to a phase selection value controlling the output multiplexer. The delay chain serves two purposes: Phase offset detection and clock signal phase shifting. No sampling or control signals are used which have a higher frequency than that of the system clock.
