Claim Text:
1. A method for communicating over a data bus, comprising: determining a number of changes in bit value in respective bit positions between a previous bit string and a current bit string: transmitting the entreat bit string over the data bus in one of an inverted form or a non-inverted form, wherein the inverted form is used for transmission if the determined number of changes in bit value exceeds a threshold, and wherein the non-inverted form is used for transmission if the determined number of changes in bit value does not exceed the threshold; and transmitting an additional bit along with the current bit string having a logic value that indicates whether the current bit string is transmitted in the inverted form or the non-inverted form, wherein the additional bit is set to an invert of a previous additional bit when the current bit string is transmitted in the inverted form or set to a same logic value as the previous additional bit if the current bit string is transmitted in the non-inverted form.
