8b10b

    0.03 sec.
8b10b
(8Bits10Bits) A transmission code created by IBM in the mid-1980s that adds two bits to every 8-bit byte of data. The extra bits ensure that the line is electrically balanced between 0s and 1s, which enables the receiving circuits to stay in sync at high speeds. Using two conversion tables, the low-order five bits of each byte are encoded as six bits, and the next three bits are encoded into four bits.

At the encoding layer, SAS uses 8b10b encoding to create transmission characters and primitives from bits.
A single 510A Unit accommodates all rates from 50 to over 2,500 Mbps, using any scrambled NRZ, PRBS, or 8B10B coding format.
In addition, the ON Semiconductor TTP device will offer a configurable 8B10B coding at communication speeds of 10 Mbit/s using RS-485 physical layer.
