Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for reducing pathological conditions in a serial video interface. A sequence of parallel data words that are to be transformed by a data-scrambling algorithm comprise an input signal. The bit order of one or more of the words in the sequence of parallel data words is reversed and the sequence of parallel data words, now including one or more bit-reversed words, is transmitted. The signal resulting from application of a data-scrambling algorithm to the sequence of parallel data words, including one or more bit-reversed words, has a reduced likelihood of including a pathological condition.
