ABSTRACT:
A communications system interleaves control pulses between the transitions in a serial bit stream to form an interleaved signal. The serial bit stream has a series of transitions and a series of gaps between transitions where a transition can not occur. An interleaver identifies gaps in the serial bit stream, and inserts the control pulses in the gaps to form the interleaved signal. The interleaved signal reduces the pin count when the interleaved signal is transmitted between chips.
