Abstract
Encoding and decoding devices, methods and programs are disclosed. In one example, decoding is provided by dividing input data into data strings of N bits, the data strings including a first data string, calculating a running disparity for the data strings, determining whether the first data string is to be inverted based upon the calculated running disparity, setting a flag for the first data string to a first value when it is determined that the first data string is not to be inverted, and setting the flag for the first data string to a second value and inverting the first data string when it is determined that the first data string is to be inverted, and outputting the first data string. The technology is, for example, applicable to a device communicating in an SLVS-EC specification.
