Abstract

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for multiplexing multiple data sources Some illustrative embodiments include a method for combining multiple data sources, including building one or more single-source data words by iteratively selecting a data source, writing data from the data source to each data section within a single-source data word if enough data is available to fill the single-source data word, copying a data bit of the single-source data word to a data bit within a start word, and clearing the data bit of the single-source data word; and including transmitting the one or more single-source data words after transmitting both a start word and one or more multi-source data words within the same data frame The data written into the one or more single-source data words and the data most recently written into the one or more multi-source data words originate from the same data source.
