Patent ID: 7292629

Claim:
A signaling system comprising: a signaling path; a transmit circuit coupled to the signaling path to transmit a first data signal thereon during a first transmit interval, the transmit circuit including a transmit equalization circuit coupled to the signaling path to transmit a first equalization signal thereon during the first transmit interval, the first equalization signal having a signal level according to data signals transmitted on the signaling path by the transmit circuit during a first time interval that precedes the first transmit interval; and a receive circuit coupled to the signaling path to receive the first data signal during a first receive interval, the receive circuit including a receive equalization circuit coupled to the signaling path to transmit a second equalization signal thereon during the first receive interval, the second equalization signal having a signal level according to data signals received via the signaling path during a second time interval that precedes the first receive interval by an amount of time according to the first time interval.
