Manchester Code
Nonreturn-to-Zero (NRZ) code represents the binary values
logic-O and Iogic-1 with a static level maintained throughout
the data cell. In contrast, Manchester code represents data
with a level transition in the middle of the data cell.
Manchester has bandwidth, error detection, and
synchronization advantages over NRZ code.
The Manchester II code Bipolar One and Bipolar Zero shown
below are logical complements. The direction of the
transition indicates the binary value of data. A logic-0 in
Bipolar One is defined as a Low to high transition in the
middle of the data cell, and a logic-1 as a high to low mid bit
transition, Manchester Il is also known as Biphase-L code.
The bandwidth of NRZ is from DC to the clock frequency fc/2,
while that of Manchester is from fc/2 to fc. Thus, Manchester
can be AC or transformer coupled, which has considerable
advantages over DC coupling. Also, the ratio of maximum to
minimum frequency of Manchester extends one octave, while
the ratio for NRZ is the range of 5 to 10 octaves. It is much
easier to design a narrow band than a wideband amp.
Secondly, the mid bit transition in each data cell provides the
code with an effective error detection scheme. If noise
produces a logic inversion in the data cell such that there is
no transition, an error indiction is given, and synchronization
must be re-established. This places relatively stringent
requirements on the incoming data.
The synchronization advantages of using the HD-6409 and
Manchester code are several fold. One is that Manchester is
a self clocking code. The clock in serial data communication
defines the position of each data cell. Non self clocking
codes, as NRZ, often require an extra clock wire or clock
track (in magnetic recording). Further, there can be a phase
variation between the clock and data track. Crosstalk
between the two may be a problem. In Manchester, the
serial data stream contains both the clock and the data, with
the position of the mid bit transition representing the clock,
and the direction of the transition representing data. There is
no phase variation between the clock and the data.
A second synchronization advantage is a result of the
number of transitions in the data. The decoder
resynchronizes on each transition, or at least once every
data cell. In contrast, receivers using NRZ, which does not
necessarily have transitions, must resynchronize on frame
bit transitions, which occur far less often, usually on a
character basis. This more frequent resynchronization
eliminates the cumulative effect of errors over successive
data cells. A final synchronization advantage concerns the
HD-6409’s sync pulse used to initiate synchronization. This
three bit wide pattern is sufficiently distinct from Manchester
data that a false start by the receiver is unlikely.
