Patent ID: 8743558

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 each of the at least one electric signal transmitted between the plurality of electronic components is transmitted utilizing slope manipulation by manipulating each of the at least one electric signal to provide a slope substantially 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 2, said discrete integer data value represented by using one of 2 n distinct slopes, said one of 2 n distinct slopes being transmitted utilizing a particular reference voltage of 2 n predetermined reference voltages.
