Abstract

For transmitting information on a plurality of integrated circuit conductive lines, n conductive lines are provided on a path in an integrated circuit. The path has first and second portions, and an interposing, transition portion. The lines have first positions with respect to one another in the first portion, and certain of the lines change relative positions in the transition portion, so that the lines have second positions with respect to one another in the second portion. The information is encoded in a format wherein no more than one of the n lines has a signal asserted thereon at a time, so that there is a reduction in noise induced among the lines.
