Abstract:
1. A method for improving data transmission, the method comprising: receiving a data stream to be transmitted across a channel; shifting the data stream, in accordance with clock cycles of a received clock, to generate a main data signal, a pre-cursor signal shifted one previous clock cycle relative to the main data signal, and a post-cursor signal shifted one subsequent clock cycle relative to the main data signal; subtracting the pre-cursor signal and the post-cursor signal from the main data signal to generate an output data signal; and receiving a mode control signal configured to switch between a first mode and a second mode, wherein the first mode utilizes the main data signal, the pre-cursor signal, and the post-cursor signal to generate the output data signal while the second mode utilizes outputs of a half-tap FIR circuit to generate a different output data signal.
