Abstract
One implementation of the disclosed technology involves detecting a transition in a signal received via one of a first indexed input and a second indexed input. The transition defines a first symbol having a symbol value. This implementation further involves outputting the first symbol in response to detection of a transition. The symbol value of the first symbol is designated by the index of the indexed input upon which the transition is detected.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- detecting a transition in a signal received via one of a first indexed input and a second indexed input, the transition defining a first symbol having a symbol value;
- and
- outputting the first symbol, responsive to the operation of detecting the transition, the symbol value of the first symbol being designated by the index of the indexed input upon which the transition is detected.
A device comprising:
- signal transition detector circuitry that detects a transition in a signal received via one of a first indexed input and a second indexed input, the transition defining a first symbol having a symbol value;
- and
- symbol generator circuitry coupled to the signal transition detector and that outputs the first symbol, responsive to detection of the transition, the symbol value of the first symbol being designated by the index of the indexed input upon which the transition is detected.
A method comprising:
- outputting a transition in a signal via one of a first indexed output or a second indexed output, the transition defining a first symbol having a symbol value designated by the index of the indexed output via which the transition is output.
A device comprising:
- signal generating circuitry that outputs a transition in a signal via one of a first indexed output or a second indexed output, the transition defining a first symbol having a symbol value designated by the index of the indexed output via which the transition is output.
