Abstract:
1. A method for transmitting data on a transfer path of a semiconductor component, which comprises: coding a data sequence to set a signal level of a data signal and thereby obtaining a coded data signal having the signal level; transmitting the coded data signal on the transfer path in sync with a clock signal; on the transfer path, transmitting a reference signal block having at least one reference signal level; decoding the transmitted coded data signal by assessing the signal level of the transmitted coded data signal and thereby ascertaining the data sequence; performing the step of assessing the signal level of the transmitted coded data signal by comparing the reference signal level with the signal level of the transmitted coded data signal; and initializing the step of transmitting the coded data signal on the transfer path by transmitting a test data sequence to set a feature selected from the group consisting of an optimum number of multiplexed data signals that are in a data signal block and an optimum number of multiplex steps for stipulating signal levels of the multiplexed data signals.
