Encoder, decoder, and data transfer system
View Patent ↗An encoder suppresses effectively the high-frequency components of data to be transmitted by decreasing the changing points of serial data, thereby suppressing EMI. A changing-point counter counts changing points of n-bit data (n: a positive integer) to generate a counting result, where values of adjoining bits change at each of the changing points. The changing-point counter outputting a discrimination bit which is true when the counting result exceeds a predetermined value. A code converter converts the n-bit data in such a way that bits of the n-bit data located at predetermined positions are inverted when the discrimination bit is true. A parallel-to-serial converter converts (n+1)-bit data to a (n+1)-bit serial code, the (n+1)-bit data being generated by adding the discrimination bit to an output of the code converter.
1. A decoder comprising:
a serial-to-parallel converter for converting an (n+1)-bit serial code generated by an encoder to a (n+1)-bit parallel data;
the encoder including,
a changing-point counter for counting changing points of n-bit data (n: a positive integer) to generate a counting result, where values of adjoining bits change at each of the changing points,
the changing-point counter outputting a discrimination bit which has a first valve when the counting result exceeds a predetermined value,
a code converter for converting the n-bit data in such a way that bits of the n-bit data located at predetermined positions are inverted when the discrimination bit has the first valve,
a parallel-to-serial converter for converting (n+1)-bit data to a (n+1)-bit serial code, the (n+1)-bit data being generated by adding the discrimination bit to an output of the code converter; and
a code deconverter for deconverting the (n+1)-bit parallel data in such a way that some of the n-bits of the (n+1)-bit parallel data located at predetermined positions excluding the discrimination bit are inverted when the discrimination bit is true.
2. A decoder comprising:
a code deconverter for inverting an (n+1)-bit serial code generated by an encoder in such a way that some of the n-bits of the (n+1)-bit serial code located at predetermined positions excluding the discrimination bit are inverted when the discrimination bit is true, thereby outputting a n-bit serial data,
