Abstract
An encoding device for converting m-bit data words into n-bit (both n and m are integers and 2≧2×2) code words includes a first encoding table in which 2code words selected from the 2n-bit code words correspond to 2m-bit data words, a second encoding table in which 2code words, which do not overlap with the code words in the first encoding table, of the 2n-bit code words correspond to 2m-bit data words, and an encoding unit which selects and outputs a code word, in which an absolute value of a code string DSV is smaller, from code words corresponding to the input m-bit data words in the first encoding table and code words corresponding to the input m-bit data words in the second encoding table.
