Abstract
Abstract A switching device for transmitting one only of two incoming digital trains in response to a switching demand signal, the digital trains containing identical data signals and clock signals at the same frequency, comprising a switching circuit for the data signals and a switching circuit for the clock signals, and a circuit for controlling the switching circuits which delivers a signal whose changes of state occur, after a change of state of the switching demand signal, only from the moment when the two clock signals are in the same logic state.

A switching device for transmitting one only of two incoming digital trains in response to a switching demand signal, the digital trains containing identical data signals and clock signals at the same frequency, comprising a switching circuit for the data signals and a switching circuit for the clock signals, and a circuit for controlling the switching circuits which delivers a signal whose changes of state occur, after a change of state of the switching demand signal, only from the moment when the two clock signals are in the same logic state.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
A switching device for transmitting one only of two incoming digital trains in response to a switching demand signal, the digital trains containing identical data signals and clock signals at the same frequency, comprising a switching circuit for the data signals and a switching circuit for the clock signals, and a circuit for controlling the switching circuits which delivers a signal whose changes of state occur, after a change of state of the switching demand signal, only from the moment when the two clock signals are in the same logic state.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
The device of claim 1, wherein the control circuit comprises a NOR gate receiving the two clock signals and of which the output is connected to the clock input of a flip flop whose input receives the switching demand signal, the control signal being available at the output of the flip flop.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
The device of claim 1, wherein a band pass filter whose central frequency is equal to the nominal frequency of the clock signals is connected to the output of the switching circuit of the clock signals.
