1. An N-ary fractional-bit system, comprising:

  • a word comprising m N-ary cells, each cell having N possible states and representing b bits-per-cell; and

    an N-ary-to-binary encoder, said word being a source of input for said encoder, the output of said encoder comprising i binary bits;

    wherein, the maximum i is n=INT[log2(Nm)], b=n/m, m≧

    2, b>

    2, N, m, i and n are positive integers, b is a positive non-integer.
