  • Episode 3.11 – Polar and Bipolar Line Coding
    Episode 3.11 – Polar and Bipolar Line Coding Welcome to the Geek Author series on Computer Organization and Design Fundamentals. I’m David Tarnoff, and in this series we are working our way through the topics of Computer Organization, Computer Architecture, Digital Design, and Embedded System Design. If you’re interested in the inner workings of a computer, then you’re in the right place. The only background you’ll need for this series is an understanding of integer math, and if possible, a little experience with a programming language such as Java. And one more thing. Our topics involve a bit of figuring, so it might help to keep a pencil and paper handy. In Episode 3.10, we looked at the electrical connection between two digital devices and saw two ways we could use a positive voltage and a zero voltage level to code the logic zeros and logic ones of our data. This unipolar scheme had a disadvantage. The capacitance of a conductor could cause the signal voltage levels to drift toward the positive voltage making it difficult to identify when the transmitted signal was supposed to be zero volts. To solve the drift problem, some physical lines use polar signaling. In this case, the zero volt level is replaced with a voltage that is equal in magnitude and opposite in polarity to the positive voltage. Bipolar signaling is a further extension of polar signaling. Bipolar brings back the zero volt level along with the positive or high level and the negative or low level so that there are three electrical levels.

Abstract: The Encoding techniques has received great attention in last few years due to their ability to reduce the power dissipation which is the main requirement in low power VLSI design. The dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) is an emerging technique to push the intelligent transportation system into our daily life. This paper proposes a Differential Manchester encoding using Similarity Oriented logic Simplification(SOLS) technique. This SOLS technique is based on two core methods 1)Area compact retiming 2)Balance logic operation sharing .The designed encoding technique has high hardware utilization rate. In addition to that the designed technique is better than the existing counterparts in terms of power consumption, delay. The designed technique is modeled using Verilog HDL and functionality is verified with Xilinx ISE 13.1. Keywords: DSRC, SOLS, VLSI, Manchester, Encoding. I. INTRODUCTION II.

  • Serial Line Coding Converters AN-CM-264
    Application Note Serial Line Coding Converters AN-CM-264 Abstract Because of its efficiency, serial communication is common in many industries. Usually, standard protocols like UART, I2C or SPI are used for serial interfaces. However, in many industrial applications, dedicated or customized serial protocols may be very desirable. Some customized serial protocols are based on standard line codes, and conversion to custom can be simplified. This app note details using the Dialog SLG46537 CMIC for several line code conversion examples. In this way, line code customization can be achieved in an inexpensive and easy way. This application note comes complete with design files which can be found in the References section.
