Abstract

Methods and circuits are described for creating low-weight codes, encoding of data as low-weight codes for communication or storage, and efficient decoding of low-weight codes to recover the original data. Low-weight code words are larger than the data values they encode, and contain a significant preponderance of a single value, such as zero bits. The resulting encoded data may be transmitted with significantly lower power and/or interference.
