Method and apparatus for the channelized serial transmission of redundantly encoded binary data

摘要

The invention provides a method of redundantly encoding 2n binary words into 2m encoded binary words, wherein m n, well as circuits for the encoding and decoding of the encoded binary words. The m words exhibit x invariant bits between themselves and the n words and the m - x bits are mapped uniquely to the remaining n - x bits of the binary words. As a result, the encoding and decoding circuits require translation devices of greatly reduced size from what would be expected through conventional design. The encoded data also exhibits all the desirable attributes of edge density and DC balance.
