SVFC Demultiplexer
The demultiplexer needed to separate the combined signals is
shown in Figure 30. A phase-locked loop drives another 4-phase
clock chip to lock onto the reconstructed clock signal. The sync
pulses are distinguished from the data pulses by their shorter
duration. Each falling edge on the multiplex input signal
triggers the one-shot; at the end of this one-shot pulse, the
multiplex input signal is sampled by a D-type flip-flop. If the

signal is high, the pulse was short (a sync pulse) and the
output of the D-flop goes low. The D-flop is cleared a short time
(two gate delays) later, and the clock is reconstructed as a
stream of short, low-going pulses. If the multiplex input is a data
pulse, then the signal will still be low and no pulse will appear at
the reconstructed clock output when the D-flop samples at the
end of the one-shot period. See Figure 29.

If it is desired to recover the individual frequency signals, the
multiplex input is sampled with a D-flop at the appropriate
time, as determined by the rising edge of the various phases
generated by the clock chip. These frequency signals can be
counted as a ratio relative to the reconstructed clock, so it is not
even necessary for the transmitter to be crystal-controlled as
shown in Figure 30.
