  • Patent number: 12237953
    Abstract: Techniques are provided herein to increase a rate of data transfer across a large number of channels in a memory device 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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 29, 2021
    Date of Patent: February 25, 2025
    Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Timothy M. Hollis, Markus Balb, Ralf Ebert
