Abstract
In a method of data transmission according to one embodiment of the invention, signals on adjacent conductive paths pass through different sequences of inversions and regenerations. In an apparatus according to one embodiment of the invention, two sets of parallel transmission lines include series of inverting and non-inverting buffers having different sequences.
Claims22
A method of data transmission, said method comprising:
- transmitting each among a set of first signals across a corresponding one of a first set of a plurality of parallel conductive paths, each conductive path in the first set including a first sequence of inversions and regenerations;
- and
- transmitting each among a set of second signals across a corresponding one of a second set of the plurality of parallel conductive paths, each conductive path in the second set including a second sequence of inversions and regenerations, said second sequence being different from the first sequence,
- wherein adjacent conductive paths of the first set are separated by at least one conductive path of the second set.

An apparatus for data transmission, said apparatus comprising a plurality of transmission lines, said plurality of transmission lines including:
- a plurality of first transmission lines, each including a first series of inverting and non-inverting buffers, and
- a plurality of second transmission lines, each including a second series of inverting and non-inverting buffers,
- wherein the sequence of inverting and non-inverting buffers in the second series is different from the sequence of inverting and non-inverting buffers in the first series, and

1 more element
A system for data transmission, said system including:
- a plurality of transmission lines;
- and
- a data transmitter configured and arranged to receive a plurality of input signals and to transmit a plurality of first output signals and a plurality of second output signals,
- wherein each of the first and second output signals corresponds to a different one of the input signals and is transmitted over a corresponding one of the plurality of transmission lines, and
- wherein each transmission line corresponding to a first output signal includes a first series of inverting and non-inverting buffers, and wherein each transmission line corresponding to a second output signal includes a second series of inverting and non-inverting buffers, and
- wherein the sequence of inverting and non-inverting buffers in the second series is different from the sequence of inverting and non-inverting buffers in the first series, and
- wherein adjacent transmission lines that each carry a first output signal are separated by at least one transmission line that carries a second output signal.
