Abstract

Driving multiple consecutive bits having a same logic value in a serial data stream involves driving a first bit of the multiple consecutive bits in the serial data stream at an initial voltage level, and driving at least two additional bits of the multiple consecutive bits in the serial data stream at voltage levels stepped down from the initial voltage level.
