Abstract: A decoder for decoding to obtain a binary data sequence is provided. The decoder includes a first inductance element, a first state element, a second inductance element, a second state element, an inductance sequence generator, a first comparison unit and a second comparison unit. The inductance sequence generator is configured to generate an inductance sequence including a plurality of inductance values and to adjust each inductance value of the plurality of inductance values of the inductance sequence at the first inductance element and at the second inductance element.

Abstract: An encoder for encoding an input binary value of a binary input data sequence by generating an output current of an output current signal is provided. The encoder includes a control module and a switchable resistive element. The switchable resistive element is configured to either be in a first state or in a different second state depending on a first input voltage at a first point in time and depending on a second input voltage at a later second point in time. The control module is configured to apply the first input voltage to the switchable resistive element at the first point in time so that the first input voltage depends on the input binary value.
