Differential Manchester encoding (also known as CDP; Conditional DePhase encoding) is a method of encoding data in which Data and Clock Signal s are combined to form a single self- Synchronizing Data Stream . It is a Differential Encoding , using the presence or absence of transitions to indicate logical value. This gives it several advantages over vanilla Manchester Encoding :
A '1' bit is indicated by making the first half of the signal equal to the last half of the previous bit's signal i.e. no transition at the start of the bit-time. A '0' bit is indicated by making the first half of the signal opposite to the last half of the previous bit's signal i.e. a zero bit is indicated by a transition at the beginning of the bit-time. In the middle of the bit-time there is always a transition, whether from high to low, or low to high. A reversed scheme is possible, and no advantage is given by using either scheme. A related method is Manchester Encoding in which the meaningful transitions are the mid-bit ones, and these encode data by their direction (positive-negative is one value, negative-positive is the other). Differential Manchester is specified in the IEEE 802.5 standard for token ring LANs, and is used for many other applications, including magnetic and optical storage. ''Note:'' In differential Manchester encoding, if a "1" is represented by one transition, then a "0" is represented by two transitions and vice versa. REFERENCES Federal Standard 1037C . |
