    摘要: Methods, systems, and devices for improving uniformity between levels of a multi-level signal are described. Techniques are provided herein to unify peak-to-peak voltage differences between the amplitudes of data transmitted using multi-level signaling. Such multi-level signaling may be configured to increase a data transfer rate without increasing the frequency of data transfer and/or a transmit power of the communicated data. An example of multi-level signaling scheme may be pulse amplitude modulation (PAM). Each unique symbol of the multi-level signal may be configured to represent a plurality of bits of data.

    摘要: A transmitter includes: a pulse amplitude modulation encoder that encodes serial data to multi-bit transmission data of a first data group and a second data group; a first driver that converts first multi-bit transmission data of the first data group to a first differential signal having a first voltage swing width; a second driver that converts second multi-bit transmission data of the second data group to a second differential signal having a second voltage swing width narrower than the first voltage swing width; a first voltage regulator that provides to the second driver a first low swing voltage for generating the second differential signal; a second voltage regulator that provides to the second driver a second low swing voltage less than the first low swing voltage; and a constant current load switch that provides a current path between the first and second voltage regulators depending on deactivation of the second driver.

    摘要: A supply modulator includes: a voltage generator including output terminals respectively outputting voltages having different levels, and configured to select, in response to a selection control signal corresponding to an envelope signal, at least one of the voltages as a selection supply voltage and to generate the selection supply voltage by performing DC-DC conversion on a power supply voltage; and a switch unit configured to connect an output terminal through which the selection supply voltage is output to a power amplifier, in response to a connection control signal corresponding to the envelope signal.

    摘要: A digital communication technique, implementable in a digital communication system, includes performing a training phase in which the transmitter sends one or more transmissions of pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) signals wherein the PAM signals are modulated using one or more data-to-PAM-symbol mapping schemes, performing a feedback phase in which the transmitter receives a feedback message from a receiver, the feedback message indicative of a change to be made to data-to-PAM-symbol modulation schemes, and implementing a data transmission phase in which data is transmitted using a current PAM symbol mapping scheme based on the feedback message, wherein at least some symbols of the current PAM symbol modulation scheme are unequally spaced with respect to each other.

    摘要: Techniques herein support enhanced multi-rate encoding and decoding of signals in multiple formats. In one embodiment, input data is received at a first device at one of a plurality of data rates. Encoder units are activated to produce streams of encoded input data. The encoder units are configured to operate at the same data rate. Differential encoding operations are performed to produce an encoded output stream. The encoded output stream is modulated for transmission to a second device. In another embodiment, a first device receives an encoded data stream that is transmitted from a second device. The modulated data stream includes encoded data at one of a plurality of data rates. Differential decoding is performed on the encoded data by activating one or more of a plurality of decoder units, where each of the plurality of decoder units is configured to operate at the same rate.

    摘要: A method includes receiving an n-level Pulse Amplitude Modulated (PAM-n) signal at a receiver from a transmitter via a channel. The method also includes determining one or more sampling times of the PAM-n signal. The method further includes determining one or more slicing levels of the PAM-n signal. The method also includes extracting and decomposing jitter in the PAM-n signal for each slicing level of the PAM-n signal to determine one or more jitter components. The method further includes extracting and decomposing noise in the PAM-n signal for each data level of the PAM-n signal to determine one or more noise components. The method also includes adjusting the receiver, the transmitter, the channel, or any combination thereof, based on the one or more jitter components, the one or more noise components, or both.
