Complementary data flow for noise reduction

A method for reducing noise on a power supply due to signal processing comprising:

• receiving a primary data stream, the primary data stream comprising a stream of bits having logical values;
• creating a complementary data stream, the complementary data stream having an opposite transition pattern than the primary data stream such that at clock cycles when the primary data stream has a logic level transition the complementary data stream does not transition, and at clock cycles when the primary data stream does not have a logic level transition, the complementary data stream has a transition;
• processing the primary data stream and the complementary data stream concurrently with a data processing system to reduce noise on a power supply such that the power supply provides current to the data processing system;
• and
• transmitting or buffering the primary data stream, after processing, and terminating the complementary data stream to an open circuit.

A system for retiming and recovering a data stream with reduce noise introduction comprising:

• a complementary data stream generation unit configured to generate a complementary data stream, the complementary data stream having a logic level transition at each clock cycle in which a primary data stream does not have a logic level transition;
• a signal processing unit configured to concurrently process the primary data stream and the complementary data stream to create a processed primary data stream and a processed complementary data stream;
• a transmitter configured to transmit the processed primary data stream;
• and
• a power supply configured to supply current to the signal processing unit, the power supply having stable average current draw due to the primary data stream and the complementary data stream, when considered together, having a logic level transition at every clock cycle.
