An apparatus and method for transmitting an 8-bit binary format data word as a 6-trit ternary code word includes an encoder (13), a decoder (178), and a code assignment that produce, for each 8-bit data word value, a unique 6-trit ternary code word that is particularly optimized for transmission over twisted-pair cable (35, 38, 40, 43). The logic circuitry (100, 220) of the invention is optimized to accomplish the translation using a small number of combinatorial logic gates. The present invention thus has advantages in size, speed, and performance over other possible means for encoding an 8-bit data word to a 6-trit code word.
