Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for performing a data bus inversion operation (DBI) are described. An example apparatus includes a DBI circuit configured to, in parallel, determine preliminary DBI bits based on a block of data. Individual preliminary DBI bits are associated with respective sub-blocks of the block of data. The DBI circuit is further configured to serially determine DBI bits based on the preliminary DBI bits. Individual ones of the DBI bits are associated with respective ones of the sub-blocks. The DBI circuit is further configured to invert bits of individual sub-blocks responsive to the respective associated DBI bits having a particular logical value to provide DBI data. The apparatus further includes data outputs configured to serially output sub-blocks of the DBI data and the DBI bits.
