Claim Text:
1. A data transfer method operational on a device configured for communicating using a 3-phase signal transmitted over a 3-wire communication link, comprising: determining presence of a misalignment of the 3-wire communication link involving two or more wires, wherein the 3-phase signal must be transmitted on all wires of the 3-wire communication link in different phases; and inverting a first bit of a 3-bit symbol corresponding to a transition of signaling state of the 3-wire communication link when the misalignment of the 3-wire communication link is determined to affect phase relationships between two or more signals carried on the 3-wire communication link, wherein inverting the first bit reverses an effect of the misalignment of the 3-wire communication link, and wherein determining presence of the misalignment of the 3-wire communication link further comprises determining that a receiver or a transmitter coupled to the 3-wire communication link has determined an incorrect direction of phase rotation between states of the 3-phase signal at the transition of signaling state of the 3-wire communication link.
