    Abstract: A data processor is for accessing a memory having a first pseudo channel and a second pseudo channel. The data processor includes at least one memory accessing agent, a memory controller, and a data fabric. The at least one memory accessing agent generates generating memory access requests including first memory access requests that access the memory. The memory controller provides memory commands to the memory in response to the first memory access requests. The data fabric routes the first memory access requests to a first downstream port in response to a corresponding first memory request accessing the first pseudo channel, and to a second downstream port in response to the corresponding first memory request accessing the second pseudo channel. The memory controller has first and second upstream ports coupled to the first and second downstream ports of the data fabric, respectively, and a downstream port coupled to the memory.

    Abstract: A driver circuit includes a feed-forward equalization (FFE) circuit. The FFE circuit receives a plurality of pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) symbol values to be transmitted at one of multiple PAM levels. The FFE circuit includes a first partial lookup table, one or more additional partial lookup tables, and an adder circuit. The first partial lookup table contains partial finite impulse-response (FIR) values and indexed based on a current PAM symbol value, a precursor PAM symbol value, and a postcursor PAM symbol value. The one or more additional partial lookup tables each contain partial FIR values and indexed based on a respective additional one or more of the PAM symbol values. The adder circuit adds results of lookups from the first partial lookup table and the additional partial lookup tables to produce an output value.

    Abstract: A method for receiving a multi-level error signal having more than two logic levels includes oversampling the multi-level error signal to provide sampled symbols, wherein a first level of the multi-level error signal indicates no error, and second and third levels of the multi-level error signal indicate first and second error conditions, respectively. The sampled signals are de-serialized to provide sets of symbols. A start of a symbol period is determined in response to detecting that a given sample is different from a prior sample, and the prior sample indicates no error. The sets of symbols are filtered to provide corresponding output symbols based on the start.

The receiver is powered by a power supply voltage with respect to ground and has a first input coupled to the first terminal, a second input for receiving a shared reference voltage, and an output for providing a data input signal. The reference voltage generation circuit is coupled to the second terminal and receives the power supply voltage. The reference voltage generation circuit is operable to form the shared reference voltage by mixing noise from the power supply voltage and noise from the second terminal.
