TWO-WAY TRANSCEIVER ENCODING FOR SIMULTANEOUS BIDIRECTIONAL SIGNALING

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18218848 titled 'TWO-WAY TRANSCEIVER ENCODING FOR SIMULTANEOUS BIDIRECTIONAL SIGNALING

Original Abstract Submitted

A system includes a series of first/second transceivers mutually coupled over data lanes as bidirectional transceivers, and first/second control logic coupled to the first/second transceivers, respectively. An encoding of bit inversions by the first/second control logic causes: first pair of transceivers coupled over a first data lane to transmit non-inverted bits in a first direction and a second direction over the first data lane; second pair of transceivers coupled over a second data lane to transmit inverted bits in a first direction but not a second direction over the second data lane; third pair of transceivers coupled over a third data lane to transmit inverted bits in the second direction but not the first direction over the third data lane; and fourth pair of transceivers coupled over a fourth data lane to transmit inverted bits in the first direction and the second direction over the fourth data lane.
