    Abstract: A signal transmitter circuit includes an output driver circuit configured to transmit a signal using a multi-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) scheme comprising a plurality of discreet signal levels. During operation, the output driver initiates a first transition of the signal to a first level of the multi-level PAM scheme from a second level of the multi-level PAM scheme, and initiates a second transition of the signal to the first level from a third level of the multi-level PAM scheme. The signal transmitter further includes a control circuit configured to control a slew rate of the signal transmitter circuit to cause the signal to reach a threshold voltage level at a first time, the first time occurring a first duration of time after the first transition is initiated, and to cause the signal to reach the threshold voltage level at a second time, the second time occurring the first duration of time after the second transition is initiated.

    Abstract: A control component implements pipelined data processing operations in either of two timing domains bridged by a domain-crossing circuit according to one or more configuration signals that indicate relative clock frequencies of the two domain and/or otherwise indicate which of the two timing domains will complete the data processing operations with lowest latency.
