Patent ID: 8358509

Claim:
An information handling system device, comprising: a plurality of electronic components; an electric circuit including at least one trace for connecting two or more of the plurality of electronic components and transmitting data between the plurality of electronic components via at least one electric signal; and a substrate including an insulating material for serving as a base for the electric circuit and the plurality of electronic components, wherein the at least one electric signal transmitted between the plurality of electronic components is transmitted utilizing slope manipulation by manipulating the at least one electric signal to provide a slope directly proportional to a discrete integer data value, the discrete integer data value being an n-bit data value, n being a positive integer greater than or equal to 4, said discrete integer data value represented by using one of 2 n distinct slopes, said 2 n distinct slopes being transmitted utilizing a particular reference voltage of 2 n reference voltages for each of said 2 n distinct slopes, with approximately 0.1 volts between each reference voltage.
