 | | They are often used to indicate end-of-frame, link idle, skip and similar link-level conditions. |
 | | Because 8B/10B encoding uses 10-bit symbols to encode 8-bit words, each of the 256 possible 8-bit words can be encoded in two different ways, one the bit-wise inverse of the other. |
 | | Among the areas in which 8B/10B encoding finds application are HyperTransport, PCI Express, IEEE 1394b, Serial ATA, Fibre Channel, SSA, Gigabit Ethernet, InfiniBand, XAUI, Serial RapidIO and audio storage devices such as the Digital Audio Tape and Digital Compact Cassette (DCC). |
