Abstract
Apparatus, computer readable medium, circuits, and method of reducing power in sending signals over two or more wires are disclosed. The method includes receiving two or more signals at a first end of the two or more wires. The method includes determining that the two or more signals should be encoded based at least on a previously received two or more signals. The method includes encoding the two or more signals. Additionally, the method includes sending the encoded two or more signals over the two or more wires. The method may include receiving the sent two or more signals at a second end of the two or more wires, and if the sent two or more signals were encoded, then decoding the two or more signals back to the values of the received two or more signals.
Claims21
A method of reducing power in sending signals over two or more wires, the method comprising:
- receiving two or more signals at a first end of the two or more wires;
- determining that the two or more signals should be encoded based at least on a previously received two or more signals;
- encoding the two or more signals;
- and
- sending the encoded two or more signals over the two or more wires.
A circuit for reducing power in sending signals over two or more wires, the circuit comprising:
- the two or more wires;
- an encoder configured to:
- receive two or more signals at a first end of the two or more wires,
- determine to encode the two or more signals based at least on a previously received two or more signals,
- encode the two or more signals, and
- send the encoded two or more signals over the two or more wires.
