Abstract
In accordance with at least one example of the description, a multimode (MM) receiver includes a single-ended mode (SEM) receiver, a differential mode (DM) receiver, and a MM input interface. The SEM receiver having a SEM input. The DM receiver having a first DM input and a second DM input. The SEM receiver and the DM receiver being configured to support different transmission modes. The MM input interface having a first MM input and a second MM input. The MM input interface adapted to be coupled to a driver. The first MM input coupled to the SEM input and the first DM input. The second MM input coupled to the second DM input.
Claims20
A multimode (MM) receiver comprising:
- a single-ended mode (SEM) receiver having a SEM input;
- a differential mode (DM) receiver having a first DM input and a second DM input, wherein the SEM receiver and the DM receiver are configured to support different transmission modes;
- and
- an MM input interface having a first MM input and a second MM input, the MM input interface adapted to be coupled to a driver, the first MM input coupled to the SEM input and the first DM input, and the second MM input coupled to the second DM input.
A multimode (MM) receiver comprising:
- a single-ended mode (SEM) receiver having a SEM input, the SEM receiver configured to support a single-ended transmission mode;
- a differential mode (DM) receiver having a first DM input and a second DM input, the first DM input coupled to the SEM input, the DM receiver configured to support a differential transmission mode;
- and
- a transmission mode (TM) detector having a detector input coupled to the second DM input of the DM receiver, the TM detector configured to automatically detect a transmission mode of a received input signal using a threshold voltage.
A system comprising:
- a first spatial light modulator (SLM) comprising a multimode (MM) receiver comprising a transmission mode (TM) detector, the TM detector configured to:
- receive an input signal from a driver circuit;
- and
- determine an operational mode of the MM receiver responsive to a transmission mode of the input signal;
- and
- a second SLM adapted to be coupled to the driver circuit.
