Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for multiple concurrent modulation schemes in a memory system are described. Techniques are provided herein to communicate data using a modulation scheme having at least three levels and using a modulation scheme having at least two levels within a common system or memory device. Such communication with multiple modulation schemes may be concurrent. The modulated data may be communicated to a memory die through distinct signal paths that may correspond to a particular modulation scheme. An example of a modulation scheme having at least three levels may be pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) and an example of a modulation scheme having at least two levels may be non-return-to-zero (NRZ).

Claim (Index 18):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a first memory die including a plurality of memory cells; a first signal path coupled with the first memory die; a memory controller coupled with the first memory die and the first signal path, the memory controller operable to:\n identify first data to be communicated to the first memory die; \n determine, from a plurality of modulation schemes, a first modulation scheme for the first data; \n select the first signal path for the first data based at least in part on determining the first modulation scheme from the plurality of modulation schemes; and \n communicate a first signal modulated using the first modulation scheme to the first memory die using the first signal path.
