Abstract
A data transmission circuit including: an encoder configured to output a transition signal that indicates a transition state of an input data signal; a first serializer that receives the transition signal; an auxiliary driver configured to receive an output of the first serializer and drive an output node; a second serializer that receives the input data signal; and a main driver configured to receive an output of the second serializer and drive the output node.
Claims20
A data transmission circuit comprising:
- an encoder configured to receive an input data signal and output a transition signal that indicates a transition state of the input data signal;
- a first serializer that receives the transition signal;
- an auxiliary driver configured to receive an output of the first serializer and drive an output node;
- a second serializer that receives the input data signal;
- and
- a main driver configured to receive an output of the second serializer and drive the output node.
A data transmission method comprising:
- encoding an input data signal into a transition signal that indicates a transition state of the input data signal;
- generating a first serial signal by serializing the transition signal;
- driving an output node based on the first serial signal;
- generating a second serial signal by serializing the input data signal;
- and
- driving the output node based on the second serial signal,
- wherein the transition signal comprises a rising signal that indicates a rising edge of the first serial signal and a falling signal that indicates a falling edge of the first serial signal.
A system comprising a first device and a second device configured to communicate with the first device, wherein the first device comprises a data transmission circuit,
- the data transmission circuit comprises:
- an encoder configured to receive an input data signal and output a transition signal that indicates a transition state of the input data signal;
- a first serializer that receives the transition signal;
- an auxiliary driver that receives an output of the first serializer and is connected to an output node;
- a second serializer that receives the input data signal;
- and
- a main driver that receives an output of the second serializer and is connected to the output node, and
- the second device comprises a data reception circuit configured to receive an output of the first device through the output node.
