4.4 DATA FORMATS AND ENCODING
The USC’s Transmitter and Receiver can handle data in
any of the eight formats shown in Figure 4-4. The
RxDecode
field in the Receive Mode Register (RMR15-13) controls
the format for the Receiver, and the
TxEncode
field in the
Transmit Mode Register (TMR15-13) controls it for the
Transmitter. The channel interprets both fields as follows:
xMR15-13

Non-Return-to-Zero (
NRZ
) mode doesn’t involve any en-
coding: at the start of each bit cell the transmitter makes
TxD low for a 0 or high for a 1.
NRZB
mode is similar except
that the transmitter and receiver invert the data: a low is a
1 and a high is a 0.

Note: No assumption is made about the starting state of the serial data in this figure.
As a result, those encoding schemes that operate in terms of transitions rather than
levels are shown with dual traces corresponding to their two possible starting states.
