Data bus inversion coding

A method comprising:

• performing a first data burst that includes a first plurality of data transmissions, including a final data transmission, wherein data in each of the plurality of data transmissions is encoded using data bus inversion (DBI) coding;
• and
• performing a second data burst of a second plurality of DBI-coded data transmissions, including an initial data transmission, wherein the initial data transmission of the second data burst is encoded using the final data transmission of the first data burst.

A computer readable storage medium comprising a data structure, which is operated upon by a program executable on a computer system, the program operating on the data structure to perform a portion of a process to fabricate an integrated circuit including circuitry described by the data structure, the circuitry described by the data structure including:

• an interface circuit configured to perform first and second data bursts that include respective pluralities of data transmissions encoded using an inversion coding scheme, wherein an initial data transmission of the second data burst is encoded using a final data transmission of the first data burst.

The computer readable storage medium of 18, wherein the integrated circuit is a graphics processing unit, and wherein the first and second data bursts correspond to successive write operations or successive read operations.

The computer readable storage medium of 19, wherein the storage medium stores hardware description language (HDL) data, Verilog data, or graphic database system II (GDSII) data.

An apparatus, comprising:

• an interface circuit, configured to transmit data bursts to another interface circuit via an interconnect, wherein the interface circuit is configured to reset a first set of bit lines of the interconnect during a first cycle and a second set of bit lines of the interconnect during a second cycle.
