Abstract
An apparatus for handling high speed data communication signals in at least one input channel. Each communication signal is encoded in signal excursions in at least one predetermined format. The apparatus includes: (a) at least one input locus coupled with each input channel for receiving the signals; (b) at least one output locus for presenting selected communication signals in a desired format in at least one output channel; and (c) a plurality of treating circuits for treating the signal excursions in a plurality of formats that include the predetermined format and the desired format. Each treating circuit is coupled with at least one respective input locus and at least one respective output locus. The apparatus presents sufficiently low capacitance between input loci and output loci to impart substantially zero time delay to the communication signals.
