ABSTRACT:
A system for encoding signals for a network device includes an encoder configured to encode a transmit control signal. The transmit control signal includes a transmit enable signal in a first half of a cycle of a clock signal, and a transmit error signal in a second half of the cycle of the clock signal. The system includes a control signal transmitter configured to transmit the encoded transmit control signal. The system includes a data signal transmitter configured to transmit a transmit data signal. When neither the transmit enable signal nor the transmit error signal is in a first state in a respective half of the cycle of the clock signal, the transmit data signal includes signaling data.
