Abstract
Techniques for multi-wire encoding with an embedded clock are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a transmitter component. The transmitter component may comprise at least one encoder module to generate a set of symbols, each symbol being represented by a combination of signal levels on a set of wires. The transmitter component may also comprise at least one signaling module to transmit one or more of the symbols over the set of wires according to a transmit clock. The transmitter component may additionally comprise control logic to restrict transmission of first and second subsets of the set of symbols to respective first and second portions of a clock cycle of the transmit clock, such that a signal differential among at least two of the set of wires exhibits a switching behavior that has a same frequency as the transmit clock.
