System and method for resolving artifacts in differential signals

A method for converting pairs of single-ended logic signals into pairs of differential logic signals, comprising:

• selecting a first logic signal and a second logic signal, wherein each logic signal is a single-ended signal having a signal state;
• corresponding said signal states of said first and second logic signals with a combined signal state of a first differential logic signal and a second differential logic signal, said combined signal state being among a plurality of valid combined signal states;
• maintaining said first and second differential logic signals in a first combined signal state;
• updating said first and second differential logic signals to have a second combined signal state when said signal states of said first and second logic signals correspond to said second combined signal state;
• and
• providing said first and second differential logic signals.

A method for converting pairs of single-ended logic signals into pairs of differential logic signals, the pairs of single-ended logic signals being provided by a target system, comprising:

• selecting a first logic signal and a second logic signal, wherein each logic signal is a single-ended signal having a signal state and;
• corresponding said signal states of said first and second logic signals with a combined signal state of a first differential logic signal and a second differential logic signal, said combined signal state being among a plurality of valid combined signal states;
• maintaining said first and second differential logic signals in a first combined signal state;
• updating said first and second differential logic signals to have a second combined signal state when said signal states of said first and second logic signals correspond to said second combined signal state;
• and
• providing said first and second differential logic signals.

A communication system, comprising:

• a first system for providing single-ended logic signals;
• an input/output system for providing pairs of differential signals to a second system;
• and
• a signal conversion system for converting said single-ended logic signals into said pairs of differential logic signals and including:
• a signal selection system for selecting a first logic signal and a second logic signal, wherein each logic signal is a single-ended signal having a signal state;
• and
• a signal verification system for convening said first and second logic signals into a first differential logic signal and a second differential logic signal having a combined signal state among a plurality of valid combined signal states, said combined signal state corresponding to said signal states of said first and second logic signals,
• wherein said signal verification system maintains said first and second differential logic signals in a first combined signal state until said signal states of said first and second logic signals correspond to a second combined signal state at which time said signal verification system updates said first and second differential logic signals to have said second combined signal state.
