Claim:
1. A method of data communication operable on a transmitting device comprising: generating, at a first device, a transition number from a set of bits; converting, at the first device, the transition number into a 12-symbol sequence of symbols, wherein timing information is encoded in transitions between symbols in the sequence of symbols; and transmitting, from the first device, the sequence of symbols on a two-wire serial bus when the two-wire serial bus is operated in a first mode of operation, wherein each transition between consecutive symbols causes a change in a signaling state of the two-wire serial bus, wherein, while the two-wire serial bus is in the first mode of operation, the sequence of symbols is ignored by a second device coupled to the two-wire serial bus, and wherein the second device is configured for communicating on the two-wire serial bus using a second mode of operation of the two-wire serial bus.
