Patent ID: 8750176

Claim:
A method of processing data transmitted on a high-speed bus of a computerized device so as to mitigate electromagnetic interference, the data comprising both control data and payload data, the method comprising: scrambling at least a portion of the payload data according to a first scheme; and scrambling at least a portion of the control data according to a second scheme, the second scheme comprising: dividing the control data into at least two groups, the dividing being based at least in part on a value of a parameter associated with individual ones of the control data; selectively scrambling at least portions of the at least two groups according to a scrambling algorithm; looking up a value in a table using a result of the selective scrambling; and transmitting the value onto the high-speed bus; wherein the selective scrambling reduces a level of electromagnetic interference when the control data is transmitted on the bus; and wherein the first scheme comprises a different scheme than the second scheme.
