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 1):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a multi-leg driver that comprises a first plurality of legs coupled with a first resistive component and a second plurality of legs coupled with a second resistive component, wherein the first plurality of legs is configured to output first data that includes multiple bits and the second plurality of legs is configured to output second data that includes multiple bits; a transmitter coupled with the first resistive component and the second resistive component of the multi-leg driver, the transmitter being configured to transmit the first data and the second data; a controller coupled with the multi-leg driver, the controller being configured to determine an output impedance offset between the first transmitted data and the second transmitted data; and a first transistor coupled with the transmitter, the first transistor configured to adjust a resistance level of at least one of the first plurality of legs based at least in part on the controller determining the output impedance offset between the first transmitted data and the second transmitted data.
