A method of constructing codes with a low jump rate, called bit‐block‐code (BBC), is presented. The BBC has the structure of BBC, in which bits constitute a block and blocks form codes. Each bit of a block has no weight and each block has weight determined completely by its position in the circuit. The modular design for the BBC generator is also proposed where blocks are basic units of the BBC generator. The generation circuit has the characteristics of being simple, modular, and extensible. The BBC can be used as test vectors to reduce the power consumption of the circuit under test, and it can also be exploited as a code for general purposes.
