摘要:
A decoder according to one embodiment of the invention includes a set of lines, a resonator circuit, a set of input leads for receiving input signals, and a set of switches for coupling some of the lines within the set of lines to the resonator circuit in response to the input signals while the other lines within the set of lines are at a first binary voltage. The lines are coupled to a set of pointer circuits. The pointer circuits perform logic functions on the signals on the lines when the resonating signal is at a second binary voltage opposite the first binary voltage to thereby decode the input signals. Because the lines are driven high and low by a resonator circuit, the decoder circuit power consumption is less than it would be if the lines were pulled up and down by a set of pullup and pulldown transistors.
摘要:
A method and apparatus to improve modulation efficiency. A symbol (100) is created in which the relative position of a second pulse (104) to a first pulse (102) within a symbol period encodes at least one bit. The symbol is transmitted across a communication channel. The one or more bits modulated by the position of the second pulse are recovered such that high bit rate communication may occur without channel compensation.
