Abstract:
System, methods and apparatus are described that facilitate transmission of data, particularly between two devices within electronic equipment. Transmission lines are selectively terminated in an N-phase polarity encoded transmitter when the transmission lines would otherwise be undriven. Data is mapped to a sequence of symbols to be transmitted on a plurality of wires. The sequence of symbols is encoded in three signals. A first terminal of a plurality of terminals may be driven such that transistors are activated to couple the first terminal to first and second voltage levels. The first terminal may further be driven such that a dedicated transistor is activated to couple the first terminal to an intermediate voltage level. The dedicated transistor is activated based on a voltage level for driving a second terminal of the three terminals and a voltage level for driving a third terminal of the three terminals.

Claim (Index 8):
A transmitter, comprising:\n a plurality of terminals driven by line drivers; a processing circuit configured to:\n map data to a sequence of symbols to be transmitted on a plurality of wires via the plurality of terminals, \n encode the sequence of symbols in three signals, wherein each of the three signals is in one of three phases for each symbol to be transmitted, and wherein the three signals are in different phases from one another during transmission of each symbol, and \n obtain a signal to be transmitted via a terminal of the plurality of terminals, wherein the signal is one of the three signals; and \n a line driver configured to:\n drive the terminal by turning on a first transistor when the signal is in a first phase, wherein the terminal is driven towards a first voltage level when the first transistor is turned on, \n drive the terminal by turning on a second transistor when the signal is in a second phase, wherein the terminal is driven towards a second voltage level when the second transistor is turned on, and \n drive the terminal by turning on a third transistor when the signal is in a third phase, wherein the terminal is driven towards a third voltage level when the third transistor is turned on, and wherein the third transistor is turned on based on a voltage supplied from a voltage regulator that also regulates a voltage supplied to the first transistor.
