Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for improving uniformity between levels of a multi-level signal are described. Techniques are provided herein to unify peak-to-peak voltage differences between the amplitudes of data transmitted using multi-level signaling. Such multi-level signaling may be configured to increase a data transfer rate without increasing the frequency of data transfer and/or a transmit power of the communicated data. An example of multi-level signaling scheme may be pulse amplitude modulation (PAM). Each unique symbol of the multi-level signal may be configured to represent a plurality of bits of data.

Claim (Index 15):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a multi-leg driver that comprises a first leg group coupled with a first resistive component and a second leg group coupled with a second resistive component, wherein the first leg group is configured to output first data and the second leg group is configured to output second data; a transmitter coupled with the first resistive component and the second resistive component, the transmitter being configured to output the first data and the second data; a first transistor coupled with the transmitter; and a controller coupled with the multi-leg driver, wherein the controller is operable to: receive the first data and the second data output from the transmitter; compare the first data and the second data output from the transmitter; determine an output impedance offset between the first data and the second data in response to the comparison; and initiate an adjustment of a resistance level of at least one leg of the first leg group of the multi-leg driver to a second resistance level different than a first resistance level based at least in part on determining the output impedance offset between the first data and the second data, the initiated adjustment being performed by the first transistor in electronic communication with at least one of the first plurality of legs.
