An efficient communications apparatus is described for a vector signaling code to transport data and optionally a clocking signal between integrated circuit devices. Methods of designing such apparatus and their associated codes based on a new metric herein called the "ISI Ratio" are described which permit higher communications speed, lower system power consumption, and reduced implementation complexity.
