Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus, comprising:
a receiver coupled with a channel and configured to receive a signal that has been modulated using a modulation scheme that includes three or more voltage levels, the receiver comprising a multi-phase architecture based at least in part on the modulation scheme, and the receiver comprising:
a first circuit configured to determine a voltage level at a first clock phase of the signal modulated using the modulation scheme;
a first feedback circuit coupled with an input of a second circuit and an output of the first circuit, the first feedback circuit configured to receive a first feedback signal from the first circuit and modify the signal input into the second circuit based at least in part on the first feedback signal;
the second circuit configured to determine a voltage level at a second clock phase of the signal;
a second feedback circuit coupled with an input of a third circuit and an output of the second circuit, the second feedback circuit configured to receive a second feedback signal from the second circuit and modify the signal input into the third circuit based at least in part on the second feedback signal; and
the third circuit configured to determine a voltage level at a third clock phase of the signal, wherein the first circuit, the second circuit, and the third circuit operate in parallel.
