Abstract:
A memory interface may include a transmitter that generates multi-level signals. The transmitter may employ channel equalization to improve the quality and robustness of the multi-level signals. The channel equalization may be controlled independently from the drive strength of the multi-level signals. For example, a first control signal may control the de-emphasis or pre-emphasis applied to a multi-level signal and a second control signal may control the drive strength of the multi-level signal. The first control signal may control a channel equalization driver circuit and the second control signal may control a driver circuit.

Claim (Index 21):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a driver circuit comprising a first input in electronic communication with an output of a first pre-driver circuit and a second input in electronic communication with a first control line, the driver circuit configured to modify a strength of a first output signal of the first pre-driver circuit based at least in part on a first control signal received over the first control line; and a channel equalization driver circuit comprising a third input in electronic communication with an output of a second pre-driver circuit and a fourth input in electronic communication with a second control line, the channel equalization driver circuit configured to modify, based at least in part on a second control signal received over the second control line, a strength of a second output signal of the second pre-driver circuit by increasing or decreasing an output current of the channel equalization driver circuit.
