Abstract
Embodiments of an encoding circuit to communicate a sequence of words are described. This encoding circuit includes an encoding module that is configured to receive a first sequence of words and to generate a DC-balanced second sequence of words based on the first sequence of words, where communicating the second sequence of words consumes less energy than communicating a third sequence of words that includes words in the first sequence of words alternating with words in the inverse of the first sequence of words. In addition, the second sequence of words includes substantially twice as many words as the first sequence of words.
