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.

Claim (Index 1):
A transmitter, comprising:\n a plurality of terminals; and a line driver configured to transmit a signal via a terminal of the plurality of terminals, the signal being in one of three phases, wherein the line driver includes a first transistor, a second transistor, and a third transistor, wherein a source of the first transistor and a source of the third transistor are coupled to a first end of a first resistor, and a second end of the first resistor is coupled to the terminal and a first end of a second resistor, and wherein the line driver is configured to:\n drive the terminal towards a first voltage level by turning on the first transistor when the signal is in a first phase, \n drive the terminal towards a second voltage level by turning on the second transistor when the signal is in a second phase, and \n drive the terminal towards a third voltage level by turning on the third transistor when the signal is in a third phase.
