Self-clocking signal
In
telecommunications and
electronics, a
self-clocking signal is one that can be decoded without need for a separate
clock signal or other source of
synchronization. This is usually done by including embedded synchronization information within the signal, and adding constraints on the coding of the data payload such that false synchronization can easily be detected.
Examples of self-clocking signals include:
Isochronous:
Anisochronous:
