where an X is a don't-care state. Since the first case is almost all don't-care states, we can send the same data (last 11 bits) as in the second case, but append a zero to the front instead of a 1; this simplifies the logic involved. The don't-care states in bits 9 and 2 we can set to zero. | where an X is a don't-care state.
