What does TDMS stand for in signaling terms?

• A. Transition Minimized Differential Signaling
• B. Time Division Multiplexed Signaling
• C. Tuned Differential Signaling Module
• D. Telecommunications Differential Modulation Standard

Answer: (A)

Transition Minimized Differential Signaling describes a method that sends data over differential pairs and uses encoding designed to reduce the number of transitions between signal states. Fewer transitions mean less switching noise, lower power consumption, and better signal integrity at high speeds. The differential nature also helps reject noise that affects both lines similarly, improving reliability in noisy environments. This approach is what HDMI and DVI use to transmit video data cleanly. Other options describe different ideas: one implies multiplexing signals in time rather than reducing transitions in a differential channel; another is not a standard term used in signaling; the last is not a recognized modulation standard.
