Abstract
An interface includes an encoder to receive a stream of input symbols and, in response, to output a corresponding stream of output symbols of substantially equal weight via multiple signal lines, which can improve noise/speed performance. The encoder outputs the stream of output symbols so that no output symbol is consecutively repeated. A repeat symbol is used to indicate that the current symbol is identical to the immediately preceding symbol. This encoding allows an interface receiving the stream of output symbols can extract a clock signal from the stream.
