Claims14
A system for providing data communication over a channel having a plurality of links, the system comprising:
- a first transceiver module including:
- transmitter module to transmit data, wherein the transmitter module includes a transmit equalizer module;
- a receiver module;
- a second transceiver module, coupled to the first transceiver module via at one of the plurality of links, the second transceiver module including:
- transmitter module to transmit data, wherein the transmitter module includes a transmit equalizer module;
- a receiver module to receive the data transmitted by the transmitter module of the first transceiver module, wherein the transmitter module of the first transceiver module and the receiver module of the second transceiver communicate using an n-level pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) communication technique where n is greater than 2.
