Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a system comprises control logic and a transmitter. The transmitter is operatively coupled to the control logic and has an output voltage. The control logic adjusts a magnitude of the output voltage based on an error rate associated with the transmitter.
Claims27
A system, comprising:
- control logic;
- and
- a transmitter operatively coupled to said control logic, said transmitter having an output voltage;
- wherein said control logic adjusts a magnitude of the output voltage based on an error rate associated with said transmitter.
1 more element
The system of claim 12 wherein said transmitter has a differential output voltage and the magnitude is a magnitude of a voltage swing associated with said differential output voltage.
A bus device, comprising
- a transmitter having a programmable output voltage;
- and
- storage into which an error rate value is written, said error rate value indicating an error rate associated with said transmitter;
- wherein the output voltage of said transmitter is adjustably programmed based on the error rate value in said storage.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- means for transmitting a signal to include data;
- and
- means for dynamically changing a magnitude of the signal based on an error rate associated with said system.
A method, comprising:
- determining an error rate associated with a transmitter;
- and
- programming a magnitude of an output voltage of the transmitter based on the error rate.
