Method of transmitting data
View Patent ↗A method of data transmission is provided. The method uses a differential data reverse signal to implement the differential data signal so that the number of the signal transitions can be effectively reduced in order to keep up with the data transmission rate. Further, because of using the differential data signals and the differential data reverse signal, the power consumption and the EMI can also be reduced.
