Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: an interconnect; a first encoder to encode a first data stream into a first encoded data stream; a second encoder to encode a second data stream into a second encoded data stream; a serializer to serialize the first encoded data stream and the second encoded data stream into an encoded data stream, wherein the serializer is coupled to the interconnect so that the encoded data stream is transmitted on the interconnect, wherein the first encoder comprises an exclusive OR functional unit applied to the first data stream and a delayed version of the first encoded data stream; and the second encoder comprises an exclusive OR functional unit applied to the second data stream and a delayed version of the second encoded data stream, wherein the first data stream has a first activity factor and the second data stream has a second activity factor, wherein the sum of the first and second activity factors is not less than one.
