Abstract

A data system permits bus encoding based on frequency of the bus and the frequency of switching on the bus so as to avoid undesirable frequency conditions such as a resonant condition or interference with other electrical devices. Transmission frequencies along one or more busses are monitored and used to control the encoding process, for example, an encoding process based on data bus inversion (DBI). The use of both a measure of an absolute number of logic levels (“DBI_DC”) and a measure of a number of logic level transitions relative to a prior signal (“DBI_AC”) provides a measure of control that may be used to compensate for both main and predriver switching noise.
