Abstract
In the transmission of a logic signal, there is a reduced maximum value and a reduced average value of the number of bits varied by transforming an input level representation original logic signal having n bits into a transition representation logic signal of m groups with only a maximum of k bits varied, wherein k and m are integer numbers, n is greater than k and each value of k and m is greater than 1. The transformed logic signal of m groups is transmitted. The transmitted logic signal of m groups is then transformed into the original logic signal having n bits. A maximum number of bits varied is k, which can be below n/2 as a maximum, which is less than an average bit variation of the input original signal.
