Abstract

Zero sum signaling schemes utilize coding across data words to allow the use of single-ended buffers while mitigating simultaneous switching noise (SSN) in digital systems. Zero sum signaling may include balanced zero sum coding (target disparity=0) and nearly balanced zero sum coding (target disparity=±d). Zero sum signaling may reduce simultaneous switching noise as compared to single-ended signaling while allowing a reduction in the number of physical channels (e.g. circuit board traces) by nearly a factor of two as compared to differential signaling.
