Binary coding method with uniform switching rate of the binary elements and incrementation/decrementation method therefor

摘要

The domain of the invention is that of binary coding. The invention relates in particular, but not exclusively, to the coding of data intended to be represented sequentially, according to a preset order, for example in counters. …??The particular objective of the invention is to provide a method of binary coding of digital data leading to a uniform, or substantially uniform, average switching rate, for each of the binary elements. …??This objective is achieved with the aid of a method of binary coding of digital data, in which the said data are coded over two distinct fields (11, 12) of binary elements, a reference field (11) and a permutation field (12), the sequence of binary elements assigned to the said permutation field (12) undergoing a permutation (13) dependent upon the value contained in the said reference field (11). …IMAGE…
